What is the Role of Next Generation Storage in a Time of Global Uncertainty

About This Session

What is the role of next-generation storage technologies, such as pumped hydro and long-duration energy storage, in supporting critical infrastructure like data centres, ensuring grid stability, and addressing long-term energy security challenges?
How can ambitious government targets for energy storage address the support for next-generation storage to mitigate the risks posed by geopolitical tensions?
How can BESS integration with renewables play a critical role in reducing reliance on fossil fuel imports, alleviating congestion, and enhancing interconnection resilience in the face of geopolitical risks?
What policy measures, permitting frameworks, and international cooperation are needed to accelerate energy storage deployment, and are next-generation technologies the answer?
How are cross-border energy storage considerations being addressed, and what lessons can be learned from the differing approaches of markets across Asia, and other regions in managing interconnection, trade, and energy security?
