What is Battery & Energy Storage 2026?
Battery & Energy Storage 2026 is a co-located event focused on the commercial, technical, procurement and financial realities of deploying energy storage at scale. It connects utilities, IPPs, developers, EPCs, OEMs, software providers, data centers, investors and policymakers with the battery materials and manufacturing supply chain.
When and where does it take place?
Battery & Energy Storage 2026 takes place June 23-25, 2026 at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, alongside Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials.
Who should attend?
The event is designed for utilities, grid operators, IPPs, developers, EPCs, BESS integrators, battery OEMs, cell manufacturers, software and optimization providers, data centers, hyperscalers, investors, lenders, insurers, policymakers and regulators.
What makes it different from a standard energy storage event?
Most energy storage events focus on deployment alone. Battery & Energy Storage 2026 connects deployment with the upstream and midstream supply chain, giving attendees a single view of storage procurement, bankability, battery manufacturing, lithium pricing, supply chain security and future material demand.
Is this part of Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials?
Yes. Battery & Energy Storage 2026 is co-located with Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials. The events share the same venue and wider event environment, creating direct crossover between energy storage, battery materials, manufacturing, finance and critical minerals.
What topics will the program cover?
The program covers utility procurement, grid-scale BESS, project finance, bankability, warranties, data center and AI power demand, policy and IRA compliance, FEOC and domestic content, software, dispatch, market design, long-duration storage, alternative chemistries and supply chain risk.
Can I view the agenda and speakers?

Why should upstream battery materials companies care?
Energy storage is becoming a major demand pillar for batteries. Understanding how storage is procured, financed and deployed gives producers, refiners, recyclers and cell manufacturers clearer visibility into future demand, customer requirements and supply chain risk.
Why should utilities, developers and data centers attend?
The event gives storage buyers direct access to the suppliers, financiers, OEMs, software providers and market experts shaping how battery storage gets built. It is designed around real procurement, project finance, interconnection, safety and performance questions, not generic market growth.
