Storing the Wind: Advancing Offshore Flexibility

When: Wednesday, 22 April 2026, 14:30 - 15:30
Where: N109+N110

Learning objectives

As offshore wind scales and power systems grow more dynamic, co-located energy storage offers significant potential to improving flexibility and resilience. Integrating storage can reduce curtailment, smooth intermittency, unlock grid services, and optimise transmission assets. Industry experts from operators, research centres, and leading technology developers will explore the technical, commercial, and strategic opportunities shaping the next evolution of hybrid offshore wind systems.
