Agenda

Panel discussion

Europe is adding record levels of solar, but critical storage buildout is lagging behind. As curtailment risk rises and flexibility markets mature unevenly, what will it take to close the storage gap? Examine the economics, regulation, and capital flows needed to scale storage at pace with solar deployment.

  • What’s holding back deployment – policy, permitting, or financing?
  • How hybrid solar+storage projects stack up against standalone BESS in value creation.
  • Investor perspective: what derisks storage as a mainstream asset class?
