The European continent recorded 4.5GW of battery storage capacity last year, with predictions to catapult to a staggering 95GW by 2050. This expansion is not about to slow, with at least another 6GW predicted for installation in 2023 according to the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). 

Our expert panel will explore the current and future landscape of the UK and the European energy storage market, analysing regional and global trends, investment opportunities and challenges faced by developers and investors in these markets, and the role of regulations and policy measures. Join us for this insightful webinar as we delve deeper into the intricacies of making and keeping projects bankable amidst these rapidly evolving market conditions.
