LDES Executive Summit

LDES Executive Summit – Battery Innovation Summit Series Presented by The Battery Saloon — Battery Innovation Summit Series The Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Executive Summit is the latest edition of The Battery Saloon's Battery Innovation Summit Series, bringing together the leaders driving the future of long-duration energy storage. Following the successful launch of the Battery Innovation Summit in April 2026, this one-day executive summit will explore one of the most important challenges and opportunities in the energy transition: deploying long duration energy storage at scale. As electricity demand accelerates, driven by AI, data centers, electrification, renewable energy deployment, and the growing need for grid resilience in the face of climate change and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, Long Duration Energy Storage is becoming essential for building a reliable, resilient, affordable, and decarbonized electric grid.
