The energy transition and sustainable mobility sectors have a new appointment on 21 and 22 May at the second edition of the Storage, Renewable and Electric Vehicles Integration Forum", organised by Strategic Energy Corp, comprising Strategic Energy Europe and Mobility Portal Europe.
With free global access, the forum will feature prominent companies such as GCL SI, Everyray, SMA Solar, Suntech, Solplanet, Diprem Global, and Flexgen, presenting cutting-edge solutions in solar technology, financing models, and scalability strategies for the photovoltaic market.
The forum will open on Wednesday with an exclusive interview with IRENA (international renewable energy agency). Norela Constantinescu, Acting Director of IRENA's Innovation and Technology Hub, will focus on technological priorities for the integration of renewable energy in Europe.
In the field of energy storage and market analysis, experts from AleaSoft, 360 Energy, Sólida, Licencia Social Energy, and Agere Energy Consulting will provide strategic insights into the challenges and opportunities the industry will face in 2025.
Free registration Also, the leading associations like SolarPower Europe, Hydrogen Europe, aelec, and EASE (European Association for Storage of Energy) will be participating to discuss the sector's current landscape, regulatory and technological developments, and growth projections towards 2030.
21 May: Renewables in Europe, Grid Expansion, and Innovation The first day will focus on the current state of Europe"s renewable energy market and the growth prospects for energy storage, set against the backdrop of the urgent need to accelerate decarbonisation and strengthen energy security. Panel 1 Present and Future of Renewables in Europe This English-language panel will open with an assessment of whether Europe is on track to meet its solar capacity targets for 2030.Based on recent data from ESOT, with 65 GW of new solar capacity installed in the EU in 2024 bringing the cumulative total to 338 GW Speakers will explore the key regulatory and structural barriers to this growth, paying particular attention to the implications of the Net Zero Industry Act.
The discussion will explore measures to reduce dependence on the Asian solar value chain and strengthen Europe"s industrial competitiveness.
In the area of storage, the session will analyse the integration of 22 GWh of new BESS capacity in 2024 and prospects for reaching 400 GWh by 2029, assessing whether 2025 will mark the start of large-scale projects.
Furthermore, the panel will debate whether the European Union will adopt an Energy Storage Action Plan, following the vulnerabilities exposed by the recent Iberian blackout.
Panel 2 Future of Solar Energy: Innovation, Financing and Scalability This technical debate will examine the transformation of Europe"s solar market through technological innovation, regulatory frameworks, and evolving business models.The latest solutions in high-efficiency modules and granular silicon from GCL SI will be presented, analysing their impact on project performance and scalability.
The session will also address current limitations in the automation and digitalisation of solar assets, and how these innovations can lower costs and improve profitability in the utility-scale segment. Everyray will address how automation and digital monitoring are enhancing solar asset performance in Europe, while identifying key barriers to scaling innovation in the utility-scale segment.
Additionally, SMA Italia will outline the role of large-scale storage facilities, referencing their Blackhillock project, set to become the largest grid-connected battery in Europe.
