Solar + Storage - Integrating Hybrid Assets for Grid Support and Flexibility

Monday, June 22, 2026, 01:00 pm - 02:00 pm

ICM München Room 4

Europe's rapid solar expansion is pushing power grids to their limits. Grid operators across the continent are now turning to co-located solar-plus-storage systems to stabilize networks, absorb excess generation and unlock new connection capacity. These projects mark a shift from asset-centric storage design to grid-integrated operation and market-based procurement. This session highlights recent 2026 initiatives that show how integrated solar-plus-storage assets can reinforce the grid by providing congestion relief, voltage and inertia support and firm capacity, thereby enabling higher renewable penetration and broader market participation. Speakers will share lessons from real-world projects demonstrating how close coordination between grid operators, developers and flexibility providers transforms solar-plus-storage systems from a balancing resource into essential grid infrastructure.
