Long-Duration Energy Storage: from pilot to bankable business case

More than the lowest price per kWh

When companies compare energy storage options, the upfront price per kWh often carries the most weight. Yet other factors determine the value of a system over its full lifetime: fire safety, a reliable European supply chain, limited degradation, the residual value and recyclability of materials, and a compact, stackable set-up on company sites. These soft advantages are often missing from the business case, so they fail to convince financiers. At this 4th LDES edition, you will discover how to quantify them, with real-world cases.

For whom?

This event is relevant for:

• Energy and sustainability managers in industrial companies
• Engineers and project leaders in storage and electrification projects
• Managers of company sites and logistics centres with large solar installations
• Project developers, investors and financiers of energy projects
• Technology providers and researchers in energy storage

Key Takeaways

After this event, you will know which factors beyond the purchase price determine the value of a storage system, and how to turn them into a stronger business case.

• Which soft advantages make the difference over the full lifetime
• How to quantify fire safety, degradation and residual value
• How to present that added value convincingly to banks and investors
• How compact storage fits on company sites with large solar installations
• What role ultra-long and seasonal storage can play in your energy strategy
