The Energy Storage Global Conference 2024 (ESGC), organised in Brussels by EASE – The European Association for Storage of Energy, as a hybrid event, on 15 – 17 October, gathered over 400 energy storage stakeholders and covered energy storage policies, markets, and technologies.
Experts from across the energy industry emphasise the importance of energy storage to enhance grid flexibility, support renewable integration, and promote industry decarbonisation.
Throughout the conference, speakers emphasised that energy storage is no longer a secondary technology but a central enabler of Europe’s future energy system. Various energy storage technologies were identified as critical for providing flexibility at different time intervals, from daily to seasonal.
