Set to take place in London on Tuesday, 12 November, the Aurora Battery Conference 2024 will uncover the best markets for BESS projects and explore how to maximise value across Europe.
OXFORD (AURORA ENERGY RESEARCH)—Aurora Energy Research, the leading global power analytics provider, is delighted to announce that its Aurora Battery Conference 2024 will be taking place in London on Tuesday, 12 November 2024, attracting nearly 400 attendees for a comprehensive showcase of battery storage market outlook, industry discussions and networking opportunities.
Aurora Energy Research’s central outlook expects a sevenfold increase in installed Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity across European countries by 2030, driven by their critical role in complementing variable renewable generation and providing essential grid services to maintain security of supply. Aurora assesses that these new capacity additions represent a cumulative investment opportunity of 33.4 bn € through to 2030. However, choosing the right markets, locations, and technologies for investment is becoming increasingly complex for investors.
This year’s conference aims to provide a platform for stakeholders to not only navigate risks such as grid congestion but also identify the most promising markets for BESS projects and shed light on the highest value opportunities within each market.
With nearly 400 participants expected, attendees will hear from leading industry experts and engage with the most influential players in the European battery storage market.
In addition to Aurora’s expert speakers, the lineup involves a selection of sector specialists, including:
- Axel Thiemann, CEO of Sonnedix
- Annie Ropar, CFO of UKIB
- Stuart Fenner, Commercial Director at EDF Wholesale Market Services
- Giuseppe Cicerani, Head of Business Development Energy Storage, Enel Green Power, and many more.
Will Stephenson, Senior Associate, Aurora Energy Research, commented:
“Across Europe, there is a huge opportunity for capital deployment in the growing Battery Energy Storage System sector, as the total installed capacity is expected to grow substantially. However, the landscape for investors is becoming increasingly complex in terms of choosing the right markets, locations, and technologies to invest in.
“We are pleased to convene the policymakers, project developers, manufacturers, banks, and investors who are navigating this complexity and debate with key industry leaders on the best strategies to capitalise on the opportunities ahead. ”
The Aurora Battery Conference 2024 will be a half-day event supported by Clarke Energy and EDF Energy with more sponsors to be announced soon.
