Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) is emerging as a critical enabler for high-renewable grids, resilience, and the growing need for firm clean power. This session will identify what is needed to bring LDES technologies from pilot stage to commercial scale:

• Policy frameworks & incentives: defining LDES, structuring tenders, and creating bankable revenue models
• LDES needs proper valuation frameworks, not just technology discussion
• Project case stidoes: cost, performance, and technology maturity
• Procurement models, investor confidence, OEM readiness, and integration with utilities and developers.
• AI & data centres as a new demand signal for LDES: clean power requirements, resilience needs
