The Energy Storage Coalition is glad to invite you to its launch event, taking place in Brussels on 4 May 2023.

During the event the mission and strategy of the newly created Energy Storage Coalition will be presented.

The Coalition’s Partners will explain how energy storage can provide the flexibility renewables require to ensure Europe meets its decarbonisation targets, strengthens energy resilience, and achieves lower energy prices.

Representatives of European Institutions, together with representatives of the energy storage and renewables sectors, will discuss how the new Electricity Market Design can address the barriers to the deployment of energy storage technologies in Europe.

A cocktail reception will follow.
