Meet Thought Leaders Shaping The Future

Energy Storage Summit at The Battery Show Europe delivers focused insight into the operational, commercial and technical challenges shaping energy storage deployment in Europe.

Co-located with The Battery Show Europe, the conference brings together asset owners, developers, investors, optimisers and technology providers to examine how storage systems perform in practice, how revenues are evolving, and how assets can be operated safely and efficiently at scale.

2026 Conference Themes

The evolving German storage market business case
Capacity markets, inertia services and emerging revenue mechanisms
From contracting to operations: translating agreements into asset performance
Maintaining high-performing BESS, safety, availability and lifecycle management

Co-location strategies and grid-constrained development
Long-term thinking: repowering, augmentation and decommissioning
How German storage deployment compares to other European markets
Transitioning to long-duration energy storage and unlocking future potential

2026 Conference Representation

Energy Storage Summit at The Battery Show Europe brings together senior decision-makers actively involved in deploying, operating and optimising energy storage assets across Europe.

Germany is used as a leading reference market, with representation from developers, IPPs, utilities, investors, optimisers, TSOs, OEMs and service providers working across utility-scale storage projects.

2026 Conference Overview

Energy Storage Summit at The Battery Show Europe 2026 focuses on the realities of operating and scaling energy storage in mature and fast-evolving markets.

Across three days, the conference examines how storage assets perform once deployed, how new market mechanisms such as capacity markets and inertia services affect revenues, and how operators can manage safety, degradation and lifecycle risk over time.

Sessions explore the shift from development into operations, covering topics such as translating contracts into day-to-day asset management, maintaining high-performing BESS, embedding a culture of safety, and planning for repowering and decommissioning.

Germany’s rapid storage growth is explored alongside European comparisons, ensuring insights are relevant to asset owners and developers active across multiple markets.
