Session 1
With regional transmission operators forecasting massive energy storage capacity coming online, the Baltic region is undergoing a rapid transition. This session evaluates whether early-mover financial returns remain viable to minimize the J-curve effect as the market moves away from subsidized models into merchant-heavy realities.
Mega-scale energy storage is no longer a theoretical concept in the region, with major projects officially entering commercial operation. This deep dive reveals the engineering, revenue, and operational realities behind a flagship regional BESS installation.
Hundreds of MWs in new REs are already under construction, pushing existing grid infrastructure to its absolute limits. System operators and developers will discuss collaborative solutions for managing bottlenecks without halting the energy transition.

Session 2
Power prices are increasingly subject to extreme swings, creating both substantial risks and lucrative opportunities for asset owners. This presentation outlines advanced trading tactics designed to capitalize on market volatility while protecting baseline returns, drawing from international cases in mature markets with several GW of installed BESS capacity
As the region solidifies its independence from the Russian grid, maintaining system frequency and stability has become a lucrative market for flexible assets. An expert analyst will map out the evolution of grid-balancing services and their commercial potential.
Choosing the right route-to-market strategy is critical, as operators weigh the security of contracted revenues against the upside of merchant optimization. This debate pits various revenue stacking methodologies against one another to determine the most resilient operational model.

Session 4
Combining distinct technologies behind a single connection point introduces complex operational challenges that can rapidly erode expected margins. This technical briefing highlights common engineering oversights in hybrid solar, wind, and storage development.
With pure-play solar projects struggling to secure strong economic returns, the industry is fundamentally restructuring its approach to new development. Industry leaders will project the long-term trajectory of the Baltic renewables sector as it embraces complex, multi-technology portfolios.
