We are pleased to announce that we’re now working on the 2027 edition of the Energy Storage Report, our annual publication looking at the big trends shaping the industry. 

After so much positive feedback to the Energy Storage Report 2026 (free download here), we’re back with another edition, the Energy Storage Report 2027.

It will be launched at next year’s Energy Storage Summit 2027 in London at the end of February. Following that, it will be distributed at the regional events in the series throughout the year (including US and Australia editions the month after) and industry trade shows like Intersolar Europe and RE+ in the US.

In it, you’ll find interviews and analysis around the biggest topics in the industry, spanning business, markets, technology and software. See a preliminary list of topics below (there may well be more!).
