This was the first in our series of regional Community Energy Conferences.

Community Energy groups played a crucial role in projects and trials led by others as we worked to accelerate progress towards Net Zero across the South West region. This event provided valuable opportunities to engage and share knowledge with National Grid Electricity Distribution and our partner Regen. It enabled attendees to update others on their activities and to learn how we could offer further support.

There was also the opportunity for peer-to-peer learning between Community Energy groups, alongside insights into policy and regulatory developments shared by a range of expert speakers.

We valued your help in shaping this and future events by completing a short survey.

Together with Regen, we opened this event to all customers interested in Community Energy, regardless of their level of experience or stage of involvement in the energy transition.

This event was led by National Grid.

Members get discounted rates on all our events and free attendance at our working groups, along with a range of other benefits.

The Electricity Storage Network Annual Conference is a platform for key industry players and policymakers to gather and debate what’s needed to attract and maintain the billions of pounds of investment required for this crucial asset class – from supportive policy and regulatory frameworks to shifting revenue strategies and evolving business models. 

With over 5 GW of grid-scale battery storage operational and a 3 GW pipeline of new pumped hydro storage projects, plus other technologies in development, grid-scale electricity storage is established as key to a zero-carbon energy system – a testament to the success of our 100+ members.

And with an ambitious Clean Power 2030 action plan for accelerated clean power, against the backdrop of significant grid connection and market reform, and a long duration energy storage cap and floor scheme, the role of storage and flexibility is more important than ever.

At the ESN Annual Conference you’ll hear directly from our members and key decision makers from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ofgem and the National Energy System Operator on the latest changes across a range of topics critical to the storage sector, including Clean Power 2030, the revenue environment, long duration energy storage, grid connection reform and fire safety.

This is also an opportunity to learn about the ESN’s work to ensure policy, markets and regulation are geared to enable the storage sector to flourish and grow at the pace and scale required while networking with 300+ industry leaders in central London.
