How should developers and investors in Europe think about long-term BESS revenues in light of eventual market saturation?
That was the subject of a panel discussion at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London in February, titled ‘The Changing Economics of Energy Storage: Post-Saturation Scenarios in European Markets’, which featured:

The panel was was one of over 30 panel discussions at the event, alongside presentations, workshops, fireside chats and more. The Summit is the flagship event in our publisher Solar Media’s series of energy storage-focused events globally, which now totals 16. We are posting video recordings of select sessions to ESN Premium, and you can see all those published so far here.

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.
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.
