Fastmarkets Battery and Energy Storage 2026 is a brand new event, launching in June 2026. There has never been a dedicated forum connecting ESS procurement decision-makers with the upstream lithium and battery supply chain they depend on — until now.
Utilities are issuing large-scale RFPs, developers are balancing contracted and merchant exposure, and investors are underwriting long-term performance risk. Battery availability, chemistry choices and pricing volatility are now central to project economics. This is the event built around those conversations.

Included with your ticket
Your Battery & Energy Storage ticket gives you full access to Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials — 1,200+ senior attendees from 40+ countries. No second registration required.
Meet the upstream producers, traders and investors shaping the battery supply chain your projects depend on.
Procurement, contracting and bankability
What lenders and insurers now require. Revenue model structures across US ISOs. IRA, standalone storage ITC, FEOC and domestic content risk.
Grid constraints and interconnection
Storage as a tool for accelerating grid connection. How utilities are integrating large-scale BESS into capacity planning and IRP frameworks.
Data centers and AI-driven ESS demand
Behind-the-meter vs grid-connected models. How hyperscaler growth is reshaping ESS procurement timelines, technology selection, and offtake structures.
Battery supply chain and technology risk
What battery chemistries are bankable today. OEM track records, warranties, and fire safety. Upstream lithium pricing and supply constraints feeding into ESS cost models.
Long-duration and alternative chemistries
Where lithium-ion has limits. Flow batteries, iron-air, sodium-ion and when they become commercially relevant. Duration requirements driving technology selection.
Policy, regulation and market design
Federal and state-level storage mandates. FERC orders and market rule changes. What policy uncertainty actually means for project financing and returns.
Battery & Energy Storage 2026 draws senior decision-makers from across the full ESS ecosystem.
