International Renewable Energy Industries Conference

Panel discussion: In what direction will Polish energy policy evolve, what will be its driving force, and what role will electricity and heat storage play in this strategy?

• EU policy on increasing energy system flexibility
• Building energy security
• Centralized or distributed energy
• Polish energy storage policyAnti-blackout package

Panel discussion: In what direction should regulations develop to support the development of the energy storage market and improve relations with TSO and DSO operators – good practices and barriers? 

• The role of the state – regulations 
• The role of the regulator – URE policy 
• The role of operators – IRiESP and IRiESD

Panel discussion: What direction is the energy market reform in Poland heading? Will we abandon the so-called copper plate? Will it be a reform that utilizes all mechanisms for marketizing energy services or will it stabilize existing solutions?

• Grid-forming and new service options for storage units: is it possible to open up black-start/islanding services for storage units?
• Flexibility services: First projects in Poland – is Intervention Reactive Power Control the right place for storage units?
• The capacity market and flexibility support mechanisms – do the MACSE auctions in Italy and LTES in the UK and Ireland indicate the next step for the Polish market?
• Flexibility of connection conditions – could connection costs be reduced if storage operations during critical hours throughout the year were 100% supervised by the DSO, with the possibility of market-based operations for the rest of the year?
• Qualification processes for balancing services – are they optimal for aggregator operations?

Panel discussion: Experiences from EU countries – good practices and barriers to investing in energy storage. Can energy storage be profitable in Poland? How can investments be financed? Is the financial sector ready for market challenges? Is the era of subsidies for energy storage over?

• Grants and low-interest loans
• Commercial loans
• Capacity Market
• Flexibility Services Market
• ArbitrageBalancing Marketc
• PPA

Panel discussion: What are the benefits of electricity and heat storage? Can they be profitable? Who needs electricity and heat storage more – energy consumers or energy producers?

• Energy storage implementations with large-scale renewable energy
• Energy storage implementations in clusters and cooperatives
• Energy storage implementations for energy consumers

Panel Discussion: The Large Potential of Energy Storage in Distributed Energy Still Untapped – How to Change This

• How to Choose Technology
• Energy Storage in Clusters and Energy Cooperatives
• Energy Storage in Rail and Tram Traction
• Energy Storage in Cities

• Presentation of the assumptions of the PIME/IEO Report "The Thermal Energy Storage Market for Industrial Customers"

Panel discussion: The role of electrification and heat storage in the decarbonization of the energy sector – the transformation of heating

• Presentation: A Business Approach to Large-Scale System Storage

Panel Discussion: How the Energy Storage Market Structure Is Developing – Barriers, Incentives, Investments, Practices, and Benefits

• Presentation: Prospects for Sodium-Ion Storage vs. LFP

Panel Discussion:

• In what direction is energy storage technology developing?
• Fire and cybersecurity procedures and systems
• BMS and EMS systems – can we expect standardization?
• How long will batteries dominate the market – what next?

Members of the committee, organizers and reporters.
