Battery & Energy Storage 2026 is a new Fastmarkets event for the companies procuring, financing, building and supplying grid-scale energy storage.
Co-located with Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials, it connects storage deployment with the lithium, battery materials and manufacturing supply chain behind project cost, bankability and long-term availability.
Co-located with the industry’s flagship lithium and battery materials eventMeet the storage market and the upstream battery supply chain in one week, in one location.
Founding Partner confirmed
Samsung SDI will help anchor the launch of a new Fastmarkets forum connecting energy storage deployment, battery manufacturing, procurement, finance and upstream supply chain strategy.

Co-located with Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials
Battery & Energy Storage 2026 sits inside the week of Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials, giving storage delegates direct access to the producers, processors, cell manufacturers, OEMs, traders, investors and policy stakeholders shaping battery cost, availability and supply chain risk.
A snapshot of the battery materials, technology, finance and supply chain companies connected to the wider co-located event week.
Battery & Energy Storage 2026 draws senior decision-makers from across the full ESS ecosystem.
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.
