Session 1: Shaping Europe’s Energy Storage Future: Market, Policy, Competition
The European energy storage market is at a critical juncture. While some countries are scaling back subsidies, the demand for flexibility, regulatory requirements, and competition among manufacturers are all increasing. This session explores how policy frameworks, market dynamics, and technological innovations are shaping the development of the ESS sector in Europe. Speakers will discuss strategies for scaling storage capacities, emerging competitive factors, and the shift toward more market-driven business models.
Session 2: Next-Gen Solar+Storage: Business Opportunities
Hybrid solutions combining photovoltaic systems and energy storage are rapidly gaining importance in Europe. At the same time, business models are evolving due to PPAs, variable market mechanisms, and new remuneration schemes. This session highlights how manufacturers and solution providers are adapting their strategies to enhance system flexibility and unlock new revenue streams. Practical examples will illustrate developments across residential, commercial, and utility segments.
Session 3: Innovating the Future of Energy Systems
The next stage of development in the solar and storage sector is being shaped by intelligent, connected, and automated energy systems. This session provides an overview of innovative technologies, including advanced EMS platforms, next-generation batteries, AI-driven optimizations, and high-performance power electronics. The goal is to critically discuss the opportunities and challenges of future smart energy solutions within the European context.
