Energy storage is a rapidly growing sector, with significant advancements and investments being made. This year, two major events are scheduled to highlight the latest developments in the field. The regional event, set for November 18-19, 2025, in Grapevine, TX, will be followed by the flagship event in San Diego, CA, from February 18-20, 2026. These events are expected to attract a large number of exhibitors and attendees.

The energy storage market is projected to reach nearly $121 billion by 2029, driven by increasing demand for renewable energy solutions. Companies like E2SOL and Yotta Energy are at the forefront of innovation, planning to launch smart solar highway median power infrastructure systems. Additionally, Fluence’s Smartstack is now available for grid-scale applications, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of energy storage systems.

Several companies have secured substantial funding for their energy storage projects. For instance, SMT Energy has secured funding for a 160MW BESS facility in Texas. Meanwhile, Nuvation Energy has achieved a significant milestone by hitting the 1 GWh mark. These developments underscore the growing importance of energy storage in supporting renewable energy initiatives.

The industry is also witnessing strategic partnerships and investments. For example, Ørsted has invested $55 million in Mission Clean Energy’s partnership. Furthermore, Vikram Solar is setting its sights on solid-state battery manufacturing, which could revolutionize the sector with improved performance and safety.

Governments and utilities are also playing a crucial role in advancing energy storage technology. The Illinois legislature has set a target of deploying 15GW of energy storage by 2030. Similarly, TVA is seeking battery energy storage system (BESS) proposals for its new energy complex.

These events will provide valuable insights into the latest trends and innovations in the energy storage industry. Attendees can expect to learn about cutting-edge technologies and network with key players in the field. With an estimated number of exhibitors and attendees surpassing thousands and an exhibition area covering several acres, these events promise to be major milestones in the evolution of renewable energy solutions.
