Short-duration batteries are vital for hourly balancing, but they cannot solve the challenge of multi-day or seasonal imbalances. As variable renewables dominate the mix, the need for Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) has moved from "nice-to-have" to an urgent system requirement. Without it, the grid faces chronic curtailment and a continued reliance on fossil-fuel backup.
With 2030 climate targets approaching, the question is no longer whether we need LDES, but how quickly it can become bankable. This webinar examines the technologies and regulatory frameworks required to scale long-duration flexibility across Europe.
Key discussion points:
- The Missing Link: Addressing multi-day imbalances and seasonal volatility.
- Technology Landscape: Comparing mechanical, thermal, and hydrogen-based solutions.
- Market Signals: Which regulatory shifts are needed to make LDES bankable?
- Project Outlook: A look at the real-world projects and policies shaping the next five years.
