What happened
Solarbaba Platform plans to stage the fourth e+ Energy Storage Summit at Ankara Cermodern on 22 and 23 September 2026. According to Enerji Günlüğü, the meeting will bring together participants from across Türkiye’s storage market, including public officials, battery producers, investors, academics and engineers.
The programme is focused on practical questions surrounding the rollout and operation of energy-storage assets. For sector professionals, the immediate next step is to assess which sessions match current storage development, financing, grid-connection or battery-management priorities before the September event.
One core subject is the performance and commercial operation of licensed solar and wind projects coupled with storage. The agenda includes case studies and revenue approaches for these facilities. It will also consider whether storage can strengthen the economics of unlicensed solar projects after the introduction of hourly offsetting.
Why it matters
The summit’s agenda brings commercial, technical and regulatory subjects into one forum. Financing eligibility, support mechanisms, and customs and tax procedures are listed alongside storage deployment issues, offering a view of the factors that developers and investors must address beyond battery technology itself.
Grid topics include inverter systems, grid-forming capability, off-grid applications and uninterrupted-power solutions. These subjects are relevant to the role of storage in connecting and operating renewable generation, as well as in supplying power where continuity is required.
The technology sessions extend beyond conventional battery chemistries. Planned discussion areas include sodium-based batteries, supercapacitors, heat storage and green hydrogen. This gives attendees a chance to compare a range of options identified in the published programme rather than focusing solely on one storage route.
Circularity and transport are also part of the agenda. Sessions are expected to cover second-life batteries, recycling, the EU Battery Passport, circular-economy issues and battery transport. Battery integration at electric-vehicle charging stations and related grid-infrastructure challenges will also be addressed.
What to watch
The event is scheduled as a two-day gathering in Ankara. Its published topics indicate particular attention to the intersection of project revenues, grid requirements, financing processes and end-of-life battery management—areas that can affect storage projects across their development and operating life.
