Session 1: New energy challenges – batteries (BESS) response for volatile market

EU targets to move towards renewable energy production has been one of the main drivers for rapid changes in energy markets. In Scandinavia change has happened in a very short time and all of us are already familiar with volatile market prices. Wind power capacity in Finland increased rapidly to 7000 MW which is making fossil based powerplants uncompetitive. What role batteries could have on different energy markets when price peaks are more and more common phenomena ?

Session 2: Partnerships – waiting or taking the active role.

Climate change is driving the boom of electric cars. Batteries are in key role and currently there are dozens of new Gigafactory initiatives in Europe. The need is estimated to expand rapidly, but the industry is new and is facing challenges. Best way to move forward, do we wait or take an active role?
