SUMMARY:Capital Flows into BESS: Where Investors Put Money and What They Expect Now
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-42
DESCRIPTION:Capital for battery storage is available — but it is becoming more selective. Starting with a European market outlook, this session brings together infrastructure funds, utilities, and mid-market investors to discuss where capital is flowing, how risk appetite is changing, and what developers need to deliver to secure funding today.  What you will discuss:  Which European markets are currently attracting capital — and which are being avoidedHow institutional investors assess merchant risk, regulation, and pipeline qualityWhat typically makes investors walk away from a dealWhat “investment-ready” means today for mid-sized BESS projects (e.g. 40–60 MW)How smaller developers can access equity and scale into institutional capital\n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-42\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1 - 5

SUMMARY:BESS Routes-to-Market in Europe: Merchant, Capacity, and Tolling — What Works Where
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-43
DESCRIPTION:Revenue models for battery storage are evolving — but not all of them are equally reliable, scalable, or financeable. This session breaks down the three dominant routes-to-market in Europe and examines where they work in practice, how they are structured, and what risks they carry.  What you will discuss:  How reliable merchant revenues really are over a 10-year horizon and which assumptions are often wrongWhether capacity markets provide meaningful downside protection and if models like Poland could work elsewhereHow tolling agreements are actually negotiated: key risk allocation, pricing challenges, and deal-breakersWhat makes structured offtake agreements “bankable” and where negotiations typically fail Which routes-to-market are currently viable in Germany vs. other European markets\n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-43\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1-3

SUMMARY:Deep Dive: Resilient Grids with Grid-Forming Batteries: Market Opportunities and Technical Pathways
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-44
DESCRIPTION:Batteries are transforming power system resilience at both utility and residential scales. This session highlights their growing role in grid stability, including grid-forming, voltage control, congestion management and system support across transmission and distribution networks. The discussion will identify established and emerging markets for these services, such as in Germany from 2026, detailing their impact on inverter-based systems. Experts will assess how large-scale and distributed batteries complement each other, offering a market overview and technology perspectives, and will outline pathways for implementing power electronics and control systems for secure, flexible grid operations.\n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-44\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 4-5

SUMMARY:Financing BESS: What Banks Accept — and Where Deals Break
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-45
DESCRIPTION:Debt for battery storage is available, but conditions are changing as merchant exposure increases and revenue structures become more complex. This session brings together banks, developers, offtakers and investors to discuss what is currently financeable, how contracts are structured in practice, and where expectations diverge.  What you will discuss:  How much merchant exposure banks are currently willing to accept  What makes a tolling agreement truly bankable in practice  Where expectations between banks, offtakers and developers typically diverge  How financing structures change when revenue uncertainty increases  Whether refinancing and new structures can unlock projects without long-term contracts  At what point a project becomes too risky even for equity  \n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-45\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1-3

SUMMARY:Deep Dive Europe 1: What’s Brussels’ Plan for Battery Storage in European Markets
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-46
DESCRIPTION:Representatives from the EU and industry associations will discuss Europe’s upcoming regulatory priorities and market design for battery storage. The session explores how EU strategies - under all relevant policy frameworks, including a dedicated Energy Storage Strategy under preparation — aim to scale storage deployment, strengthen flexibility markets, and accelerate integration into a resilient, renewables-based power system across EU member states. \n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-46\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 4-5

SUMMARY:Deep Dive Germany 1 | Grid Access in Germany: FCA, Grid Fees and Market Perspectives
URL:https://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-47
DESCRIPTION:Grid connection remains one of the central bottlenecks for battery storage in Germany. At the same time, new instruments such as flexible connection agreements (FCA) and upcoming changes in grid fees are reshaping how projects are developed, assessed and financed. This session brings together regulators, grid operators and developers to discuss how the system currently works and where it is heading.  What you will discuss:  How FCA agreements are currently negotiated in practice and where uncertainty remains  Whether FCA can become a standardized and investable framework  How grid operators and developers assess risk, predictability and cooperation  What to expect from upcoming reforms (AgNeS, grid fees) and how they affect project economics What developers should do today to make projects robust under changing rules  \n\nhttps://www.battery-business-forum.com/battery-business-development-forum/hauptnavigation/conference/program#conference-schedule-item-data-47\n\nBall Room Frankfurt 1 - 3
