Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) plays a central role in the integrated, decarbonised, and secure energy system of the future, with a value that extends beyond managing the variability of renewable power.

While the importance of LDES has been recognised in relation to grid stability and renewable integration, widespread deployment requires overcoming hurdles such as revenue certainty and bankability.

This joint webinar by Flow Batteries Europe, the LDES Council and Energy Storge Europe brings together leading policy, finance, and industry perspectives to examine what it will take to unlock investment and accelerate LDES deployment across Europe and globally. The session will explore how governance frameworks, revenue models, and investor confidence can align to make LDES projects viable at scale.

The webinar will provide you with insights from:

Why you should attend?
