Powering the Future: Energy Storage Summit Australia 2026 Returns to Sydney
The Energy Storage Summit Australia 2026 will return to Sydney on March 18-19, providing a vital platform for collaboration and innovation in the energy storage sector.
The Role of Energy Storage in NEM’s Transformation
Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) is undergoing a seismic transformation as the country races toward its renewable energy targets. With increasing penetration of wind and solar, energy storage has emerged as the linchpin for ensuring grid stability, reliability, and efficiency. The record-breaking LDES tender in New South Wales is a testament to the growing recognition of storage as a critical enabler of this transition. By providing long-duration solutions, the tender is expected to mitigate intermittency challenges, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and pave the way for a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
Against this backdrop, the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2026 convenes over 400 key industry stakeholders, including 90+ speakers and 30+ exhibitors, with 70% of attendees being decision-makers. This makes the summit the premier forum for unpacking the latest technical, commercial, policy, and regulatory updates. Attendees will gain access to cutting-edge discussions on policy, financing, and technology, as well as unparalleled networking opportunities with developers, financiers, grid operators, and policymakers.
Insights from Industry Leaders
The summit will feature insights from global and local leaders, including Hydro Tasmania, CEFC, Eku Energy, Société Générale, the WA Department of Energy, and Modo Energy. These thought leaders will provide valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the energy storage sector, offering attendees actionable strategies to navigate the evolving landscape.
“As Australia accelerates its journey toward 100% renewables, the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2026 is more than just an event—it’s a platform for innovation, collaboration, and transformation,” said Katrina Bowns, Senior Conference Producer. “This year’s Summit will empower industry leaders to tackle challenges, unlock new opportunities, and shape the future of energy storage in one of the world’s most pivotal markets. Together, we can accelerate Australia’s renewable energy transition and pave the way for a sustainable future.”
