The IBESA Day @ ees Forum 2026 features three focused sessions highlighting key developments across Europe’s energy storage landscape — from market and policy dynamics to next-gen solar+storage business models and system innovation.
Session 1: Shaping Europe’s Energy Storage Future: Market, Policy, Competition
The European energy storage market is at a critical juncture. While some countries are scaling back subsidies, the demand for flexibility, regulatory requirements, and competition among manufacturers are all increasing. This session explores how policy frameworks, market dynamics, and technological innovations are shaping the development of the ESS sector in Europe. Speakers will discuss strategies for scaling storage capacities, emerging competitive factors, and the shift toward more market-driven business models.
Session 2: Next-Gen Solar+Storage: Business Opportunities
Hybrid solutions combining photovoltaic systems and energy storage are rapidly gaining importance in Europe. At the same time, business models are evolving due to PPAs, variable market mechanisms, and new remuneration schemes. This session highlights how manufacturers and solution providers are adapting their strategies to enhance system flexibility and unlock new revenue streams. Practical examples will illustrate developments across residential, commercial, and utility segments.
Session 3: Innovating the Future of Energy Systems
The next stage of development in the solar and storage sector is being shaped by intelligent, connected, and automated energy systems. This session provides an overview of innovative technologies, including advanced EMS platforms, next-generation batteries, AI-driven optimizations, and high-performance power electronics. The goal is to critically discuss the opportunities and challenges of future smart energy solutions within the European context.
Experience IBESA Day @ ees Forum 2026 in Munich and connect with industry leaders to explore the latest trends, innovations and business opportunities in the global energy storage sector.

[DE] Maximum Performance through Modular Independence | April 30 ATMOCE’s scalable commercial storage system enables perfectly tailored deployment. You can expand the capacity step by step with each module — exactly in line with your needs.
Traditional DC architectures rely on a central PCS (Power Conversion System). The problem: as soon as a single storage module weakens, the performance of the entire system is throttled.
Our solution will soon be available through our distribution partners. To learn more, feel free to visit us at Intersolar, booth B4.470. __________________________ READ MORE »

El Niño 2026: A Climate Anomaly with Potential to Reshape Europe’s Energy Storage Market
| April 29
Forecasts point to a moderate‑to‑strong El Niño developing in late 2026, threatening higher summer temperatures, grid volatility, and electricity price swings across Europe. After a temporary dip in 2025, the residential battery storage market is poised for a rebound. Rising cooling demand, larger home systems (15–20+ kWh), and virtual power plant integration are turning climate uncertainty into a strategic case for solar‑plus‑storage adoption. __________________________ READ MORE »
