Electrical storage: 19 october

Energy flexibility is the key challenge for the future energy system. Both large batteries providing grid services and small residential batteries used for self-consumption find their way to the market. For a large-scale deployment of batteries with impact on the European industrial position, concerted actions are needed in R&D, market deployment and policy reform.

In an ambitious collaboration VITO and Energyville invite its key partners to discuss a major innovation platform in this field:

Storing electricity in buildings. The large scale implementation of electric storage in the built environment as a source of flexibility: how to bring fiction into reality.
