Connecting and Expanding Australia’s Renewable Capacity Through Energy Storage

Book 2025 Tickets

The 2026 Summit delved into the key themes driving Australia’s energy transition, including the energy storage roadmap, assessing the storage needed to meet renewable energy targets and actions required to achieve 10% renewables within five years. It highlighted grid-forming technologies, advancements in battery innovation, and the future of large-scale energy storage for a more resilient grid. Financing and trading topics included the Capacity Investment Scheme, revenue models, and unlocking new revenue streams for energy storage projects.

State-specific developments and markets were also explored, focusing on the role of Renewable Energy Zones across various regions. The Summit offered extensive networking opportunities, including breakout zones, interactive sessions, and dedicated time for delegates to connect. Networking Drinks and Lunch Breaks facilitated valuable business partnerships and collaborations.

Thank you to our sponsors, delegates, and speakers for making the event a success!

Thank you for attending the Energy Storage Summit Australia. With energy storage at the core of this transformation, the third edition of the Summit tackled key challenges and opportunities in one of the world’s most volatile energy markets.

With significant progress in the Capacity Investment Scheme tenders, Tender Two successfully secured 2.6GWh of energy storage capacity in Western Australia as part of the broader national initiative, which was recently upsized to 40GW due to its popularity. Policy frameworks are now clearly established following the federal election in May 2025, and investors are showing renewed interest in Australia's energy market, particularly for large-scale projects with long-term revenue certainty. The third annual edition explored major grid expansion projects to accommodate the increasing renewable energy capacity, and ultimately Australia's net zero goals.

The first edition of the Energy Storage Summit Australia was an event full of life, excitement, and industry connections. Commencing just days after the federal budget committed AU$22.7 billion to make Australia a ‘renewable energy superpower’, and with the New South Wales government tendering for almost 4GW of Access Rights, one of the main aims of our Summit was to bring together the market experts to signpost the next chapter in energy storage in Australia.

As we move into 2025, Australia is seeing real movement in emerging as a global ‘green’ superpower, with energy storage at the heart of this. This Summit will explore in-depth the ‘exponential growth of a unique market’, providing a meeting place for investors and developers’ appetite to do business.

The second edition will shine a greater spotlight on behind-the-meter developments, with the distribution network being responsible for a large capacity of total energy storage in Australia. Understanding connection issues, the urgency of transitioning to net zero, optimal financial structures, and the industry developments in 2025 and beyond. As legislation and governments look to grow Australia’s presence globally, the Summit will explore state developments and markets, from the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Tasmania, South Australia and New South Wales. This year will enable you to interact directly with the market more than ever, featuring more networking than ever before, breakout zones, and interactive audience sessions.

If your goal is to meet other industry professionals and create valuable business partnerships to better harness business opportunities in the region, then the Energy Storage Summit Australia is the right place for you.
