How can energy storage capitalise on energy price volatility in European markets, and how do investors need to think about future opportunities and challenges? An expert panel at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London in February dived into the topic.
You can watch the ‘Energy Price Volatility and the Storage Business Case in Europe’ panel discussion, which focused on Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and GB, further down. The expert panel was comprised of:
- Alexa Strobel, Head of Strategy & Analysis, Field Energy
- Dan Moore, Head of BESS Asset Management, Root Power
- Mikel Pino, Head of Energy Storage Europe, Exus Renewables
- Koen Broess, Board Member, Energy Storage NL (ESNL)
The event featured presentations, workshops, fireside chats and alongside over 30 panel discussions, a selection of which we are posting video of on ESN Premium. The Summit is the flagship event in our publisher Solar Media’s series of energy storage industry events globally, which now totals 16 covering all continents.

Held alongside The Battery Show Europe, Energy Storage Summit provides a focused platform to understand the policies, revenue models and deployment conditions shaping Germany’s utility-scale storage boom. With contributions from TSOs, banks, developers and optimisers, the Summit explores regulation, merchant strategies, financing, grid tariffs and project delivery in a market forecast to integrate 24GW of storage by 2037.
Now in its second edition, the Summit provides a dedicated platform for UK & Ireland’s BESS community to share practical insights on performance, degradation, safety, market design and optimisation strategies. As storage deployment accelerates towards 2030 targets, attendees gain the tools needed to enhance returns and operate resilient, efficient assets.
Battery Asset Management Summit Europe is the annual meeting for owners, operators, investors, and optimisation specialists working with operational BESS assets across the continent. The Summit focuses on how to maximise performance and revenue, manage degradation, integrate advanced optimisation software, navigate evolving market and regulatory frameworks, and plan for repowering or end-of-life strategies. With insights from Europe’s most active storage markets, it equips attendees with practical guidance to run resilient, profitable battery portfolios as the sector scales.
