What's New for 2026?
We’re constantly evolving to make Energy Storage Summit the most impactful event for the industry — and 2026 is no exception.
Here’s what’s new and exciting this year:

Designed to create space for meaningful connections and real investment discussions, this is where the future of energy storage finance gets shaped.
We’re introducing in-person industry working groups in collaboration with key UK and EU associations. Hosted in a dedicated networking space, these sessions offer a unique opportunity to engage in structured dialogue, influence policy, and connect with sector leaders.
The new Leadership Forum will bring together senior decision-makers to confront some of the most critical challenges facing the energy storage industry today. Expect strategic conversations, peer-to-peer learning, and forward-thinking solutions.

2025 Feedback
The breakout area was essential. It was fantastic to see so many from the DESNZ team there and being able to feedback to them was extremely useful – we need more of these next year.
