SUMMARY:Global Supply Chains – Ensuring Access to Critical Raw Materials for BESS for Europe
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-50
DESCRIPTION:As Europe rapidly expands its battery storage fleet and looks to increase domestic production, supply chain security becomes essential. This session looks at measures taken to make the EU more independent in sourcing critical raw materials for BESS components and how the framework conditions to facilitate recycling  and circular economy in BESS need to evolve. This session will assess how EU legislation such as the Batteries Regulation, the Circular Economy Act and the RESource EU Action Plan affect businesses and whether they can contribute sufficiently to providing European manufacturers with access to the quantity and quality of critical raw materials needed to ensure diversification.   \n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-50\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 4 - 5

SUMMARY:Interactive BESS Lab: Structuring and Financing Storage Projects in Europe
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-51
DESCRIPTION:This interactive session moves from discussion to application. Based on real-world assumptions, analysts present two battery storage projects — one stand-alone and one co-located with PV. A panel of banks, investors, developers and optimizers, together with the audience, assesses whether these projects are financeable — and under which conditions.  Participants follow the full decision process: from cost assumptions and revenue stacks to risk allocation and financing structure. The session makes transparent how different stakeholders evaluate the same project and where views diverge.  What you will discuss:  How realistic revenue assumptions hold up under current market conditions  Which risks (grid, regulation, market) most affect financing decisions  What banks, investors and optimizers require to support a project  How financing structures change depending on revenue mix and uncertainty  Where projects fail to convince — and what would make them investable  \n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-51\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1 - 3

SUMMARY:Hybridisation of Solar PV with BESS in Europe – the Best Alternative to Stand-Alone?
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-52
DESCRIPTION:As grid access tightens and price volatility quickly grows across Europe, hybridising batteries with PV is emerging as a smart way to go. By sharing grid connections, boosting revenues through energy shifting and ancillary services, and reducing curtailment, hybridisation enhances both profitability and flexibility. This session explores the regulatory, technical, and commercial advantages of hybrid solar and storage assets across Europe. Experts will discuss where hybridisation is already viable, leading markets, and key regulatory hurdles in permitting and grid connection. We will explore system value, comparing hybrid PPAs and emerging business models to market-optimised stand-alone batteries.\n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-52\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1-3

SUMMARY:Deep Dive Europe 2: Made in Europe – How to Build a Competitive European Manufacturing Base
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-53
DESCRIPTION:Building a strong domestic battery manufacturing base is critical to Europe’s energy autonomy. This session unpacks EU policies such as NZIA, CISAF and EU-made bonuses, addressing competitiveness, skills, and raw material challenges. Battery manufacturers and policymakers share insights on needs, targets, project designation and lessons learned at home and from Asia and the U.S., outlining potential pathways to bankability and industrial strength.\n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-53\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 4-5

SUMMARY:Safety, Security & Sustainability – Aiming High Despite Huge Cost Pressure
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-54
DESCRIPTION:Ensuring high technical and operational standards for BESS systems is essential to maintain and increase bankability, particularly in the context of strong cost pressure and rapid market growth across Europe. As investors and lenders increasingly scrutinise project risks, transparent technical due diligence, robust design practices, and clear risk mitigation frameworks become critical. While formal standardisation plays an important role, it takes time to develop and implement. In the meantime, effective knowledge sharing and industry guidelines are critical to reflect current best practices and lessons learned across the BESS value chain. This session highlights key technical and risk-related considerations impacting BESS bankability. The discussion will underline how shared knowledge can reduce perceived risks, support informed investment decisions, and strengthen confidence among financiers, insurers, and project developers contributing both to reliable BESS deployment today and to future standardisation efforts.\n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-54\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 4 - 5

SUMMARY:Deep Dive Germany 2 | Co-located PV and Storage: EEG reform, PPAs and Bankability
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-55
DESCRIPTION:As grid constraints increase and regulatory frameworks evolve, co-location of PV and battery storage is becoming a key development pathway in Germany. But the business case is not yet fully established. This session examines how different models perform in practice and under which conditions they become financeable.  What you will discuss:  How the upcoming EEG reform and tender design may affect co-located projects  Whether adding storage to PV creates measurable economic value How hybrid PPAs are structured and what makes them work in practice  How banks and offtakers assess co-located projects compared to stand-alone BESS  Which project setups are currently viable in Germany \n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-55\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1 - 3

SUMMARY:Future-Proof BESS: Procurement, Design and Lessons from Operating Projects
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-56
DESCRIPTION:Technical decisions made early in a battery storage project have long-term consequences for performance, reliability and revenue. This session examines how procurement, system design and construction choices affect project outcomes — and what developers should do differently.  The session is structured in two parts: first, a focus on procurement and component quality, including insights from factory audits; second, real-world cases from operating projects, analysing where design assumptions failed and how issues could have been avoided.  What you will discuss:  What developers should prioritize when procuring batteries and key components — including insights from factory audits  Which design choices have the biggest impact on long-term performance and flexibility  How to prepare systems for augmentation and changing market requirements  Typical issues observed in real projects, including SOC errors, PCS configuration, thermal management and control system integration  How to align EPC, system integration and operational strategy from the start  \n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-56\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1 - 3
