Our Advisory Board is made up of the companies shaping how energy storage is deployed, financed and procured today.
Working closely with Fastmarkets, they guide the agenda to ensure the event reflects real market conditions, from utility procurement cycles and financing structures to supply chain constraints and policy risk.
This keeps the focus on practical insight, not theory, and ensures every session is grounded in real project experience.

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.
