Energy Talks & Drinks | Energy Storage

From ambition to implementation

From grid congestion to business case: storage, hydrogen and smart energy systems in practice.

The energy transition in the Netherlands is no longer just about generating more renewable energy. It’s about how to use it: when, where and without overloading the system.

With grid congestion increasing and offshore wind scaling up, flexibility becomes key. But turning solutions like storage and hydrogen into scalable business cases remains a challenge.

During this edition of Energy Talks & Drinks, we bring together experts working on real-world innovations that aim to move from ambition to implementation.

Speakers

• Energy Storage NL: Industry association representing the Dutch energy storage sector, connecting developers, grid operators, energy companies and research institutes. Focused on accelerating storage through knowledge, networking and policy.
  Where does the storage market move next?
• FLASC: Develops offshore energy storage using Hydro‑Pneumatic Liquid Piston technology. Focused on enabling scalable storage at sea as part of future offshore wind systems.
  What is needed to make offshore storage standard practice?
• Zepp.solutions: Develops hydrogen fuel cell systems for zero-emission power. Provides a practical alternative to conventional (fossil fuelled) generators in multiple sectors.
  The alternatives to fossil are ready, how do we make them the new standard?
