What happened

The Energy Storage Industries Association (EDEDER) has set the date for its third Future of Energy and Storage Congress: 8 December 2026. The meeting is planned for the JW Marriott Hotel Ankara.

The event is intended to assemble stakeholders from government, business, academia and the technology sector around energy storage. Readers following Türkiye’s storage market should note the date and venue, while watching for further event information from the organiser.

According to Enerji Günlüğü, discussions are expected to address recent storage-investment developments, regulation and market design, newer technologies, finance and domestic manufacturing. The agenda also includes the role of storage in the future electricity system.

Why it matters

The congress brings several parts of the storage ecosystem into one forum: public bodies, private-sector participants, universities and technology organisations. Its scope covers both the conditions around investment and the operational place of storage in the electricity system.

EDEDER says the third edition is intended not only to review the sector’s current position but also to contribute to a more advanced view of energy storage’s future in Türkiye. The association also plans to examine, from different perspectives, how storage investments that have reached the implementation stage can become more effective and faster.

Domestic production is among the announced subjects. The source further identifies Türkiye’s continuing ambition to become a battery hub for the region as an issue that will remain on the congress agenda.

What to watch

For companies, investors, researchers and public-sector participants, the announced programme identifies the areas likely to be discussed: investment progress, the regulatory and market setting, financing, technology, local production and electricity-system planning. No new policy, financing mechanism or regulatory requirement is set out in the source.

The event is scheduled for Ankara on 8 December 2026. EDEDER has not, in the supplied material, provided further operational details such as registration arrangements, speakers or a detailed timetable.
