Synopsis

Europe exceeded over 10GW of installed capacity for the first time in 2023, and year-end for 2024 has even higher hopes for the region. Many of the trailblazing countries now have their own national targets and strategies specifically geared towards energy storage. This panel will set the scene on investing in Europe’s energy storage future, and how to build a bankable business case for European projects.
