Description

The first edition Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe was an event full of life, excitement, and promise. With the entire industry facing unprecedented growth as never seen before, one of the main aims of our Summit was to bring together market experts in the region to signpost the next chapter for energy storage in Central Eastern Europe. As we move into 2024, storage assets are beginning to connect to the grid and countries are preparing for large-scale buildout. This Summit will explore in depth how “Central Eastern Europe has the opportunity to leapfrog developed markets” – one of the key takeaways from 2023.

Last year’s event saw over 250 investors, developers, IPPs, utilities, TSOs, technology providers, optimisers, consultancies, and law firms gather together to discuss the fundamental trends, challenges, and opportunities in the regional markets, as well as where the industry is headed for 2024 and beyond.

The second edition will shine a greater spotlight on regional markets; introducing our brand-new breakout roundtable sessions in 2024 which will offer market expertise in markets including Poland, Romania, the Baltics, the Balkans, and many more. The Summit will also explore how new revenue streams could unlock the large-scale buildout, varying business models, increasing regulatory support, ancillary services and the future of the capacity market. The Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe will also highlight the importance of a resilient grid for energy security, as well as best practice advice from experts in wider Europe.

As numerous regional markets grow and mature at speed, the Summit will offer second-to-none networking opportunities with key stakeholders in each of these markets, including traditional content such as panels, presentations and keynotes, as well as innovative and more intimate formats such as workshops, fireside chats and debates.

If your goal is to meet other industry professionals and create valuable business partnerships to better harness business opportunities in the region, then the Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe is the right place for you. After a sell out in the first year, we expect 2024 to be no different. Book your ticket today to ensure you don't miss out.
