Where energy storage leaders define the next cycle
The ESIE conference program brings together policymakers, academicians, grid experts, technology leaders, project developers, investors, and international organizations to discuss energy storage technologies, market mechanisms, safety, standards, and global cooperation.
Program highlights
ESIE's conference platform connects strategic policy, advanced technologies, power system transformation, market mechanisms, safety standards, investment, and international cooperation.
Strategic direction
The ESIE 2026 opening and summit sessions featured leadership addresses, invited presentations, industry dialogue, and the release of the Energy Storage Industry White Paper 2026.
Advanced energy storage
The Frontier Technology Conference covered battery safety, solid-state batteries, lithium iron phosphate, zinc-based batteries, flow batteries, supercapacitors, and long-duration storage.
Grid and market integration
Conference topics included new power systems, grid-forming storage, electricity markets, capacity mechanisms, independent storage projects, and flexible resource development.
International safety dialogue
International sessions discussed BESS fire and explosion safety, risk and failure statistics, large-scale fire testing, European battery safety, and standards development.
Hydrogen and long-duration storage
Dedicated forums explored pan-hydrogen technologies, green hydrogen, hydrogen engines, hydrogen storage, ammonia and methanol carriers, and system-scale applications.
International perspective
ESIE conference activities create space for cross-border technology exchange, international standards discussion, market development, and energy storage project cooperation.
