    How Are Energy Traders Reshaping the Revenue Stack in Europe? id: 29458
    • Understanding the key role that energy trading companies will play in post-MACSE Italy 
    • The vital role of traders in strong merchant markets such as Germany 
    • Energy trading-as-a-service for BESS – what you need to know 
    • Frequently changing cost curves and the impact this has on commercialisation and operation of BESS assets

    Stabilising a Solar-Heavy Grid in Central and Eastern Europe: Lessons from Hungary id: 30159
    • Rapid solar growth in CEE is exposing grid congestion, curtailment, and price volatility, with Hungary as a leading example
    • Landlocked geography and limited interconnection increase reliance on domestic energy storage for system stability
    • Grid designs and market frameworks imported from Western Europe do not fully reflect CEE operational realities
    • System modelling shows how different storage durations can relieve midday oversupply and improve renewable utilisation
    • Early Hungarian PV and storage projects highlight practical lessons for siting, permitting, and long-term system planning

    Subsidy vs Merchant: Which Models Will Deliver Europe’s Storage Pipeline? id: 29459
    • Poland and Spain rely on capacity schemes which are subject to de-rating factors, change in power and geopolitical shifts– what happens when these schemes no longer exist? 
    • Germany and UK have stronger, but more risky revenue potential based on accessible ancillary services, arbitrage markets and merchant exposure 
    • Comparing the benefits of government intervention vs. market-led price signals

    Global Trade Policy and Storage CAPEX: What Investors Need to Know id: 29474

    Trade actions and tariffs are reshaping battery and power equipment costs. What does this mean for project CAPEX, price volatility, and delivery risk in Europe during 2026 and beyond? 

    • How tariffs and trade remedies are influencing cell, module, pack, inverter, and EPC costs, and how persistent the volatility is likely to be 
    • Practical mitigation: multi-sourcing, contract clauses, hedging, inventory strategy, nearshoring, and recycling inputs 
    • Evidence from 2025: which trade actions have already moved pricing and lead times in Europe 
    • EU regulatory impacts on traceability, sustainability reporting, and recycled content, and how these requirements flow through to cost and bankability

    Managing the Threat of Thermal Runaway id: 29477

    The increasing deployment of energy storage systems (ESS) globally requires a focus on understanding their hazards and ensuring reliable safety systems. Every ESS is unique in its dimensions, battery types, goals, location of deployment. Fike will present the dangers and causes of thermal runaway, an unpredictable fire hazard occurring in the lithium battery cells held in an ESS. Backed by years of internal test data, we’ll explore the various layered methods of protecting an ESS and, more importantly, nearby people that we recommend to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway, which may include fire, explosion and off-gassing hazards.

    Hybrid parks that integrate battery storage with solar or wind generation are reshaping how renewable assets operate and participate in energy markets. They mark the next major phase in the sector’s evolution, where flexibility and intelligent optimisation are key to boosting both performance and profitability. 

    This session will explore in detail how hybrid parks can be operated as a single flexible asset behind the Point of Interconnection (POI) to maximise value across wholesale and balancing markets. We’ll discuss how to optimise decision-making when managing operational constraints and complex opportunity costs, as well as how AI-driven optimisation can reduce forecasting errors and minimise curtailment losses.

    Early Detection of Cell Venting in Battery Storage Systems – The Key to Fire Safety id: 29919

    Venting events in lithium-ion batteries are critical early indicators of thermal runaway and potential fires. Timely detection enables preventive actions such as shutdown, cooling, or targeted alarms, and is essential for protecting people and infrastructure. 

    During venting, toxic and flammable gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen are released, which can lead to dangerous deflagrations in enclosed spaces. Without appropriate sensor technology, the fire detection system remains blind to these events. 

    Modern sensor systems – including gas detectors and advanced aspirating smoke detectors – enable reliable detection and integration into automated safety processes. As such, venting detection becomes an indispensable part of a comprehensive fire protection strategy for battery storage systems.

    How Can LDES Support Net Zero and Unlock New Market Opportunities? id: 29482

    The UK has set a precedent for LDES in Europe, with final details around the cap and floor scheme being released in September 2025, and the first projects expected to be approved by Spring 2026. With batteries dominating the space, no new ‘traditional’ LDES infrastructure has been built in the last four decades, owing to numerous barriers, including high upfront costs. This keynote will examine how the proposed cap and floor regime aims to confront this crucial issue and enable the expansion of LDES and transition to net-zero.
