Energy-Storage.news publisher Solar Media will host the inaugural Energy Storage Awards this September, recognising excellence, hard work and innovation in the European energy storage industry.

Following on from nearly a decade of industry news and insight from Energy-Storage.news, and a series of highly acclaimed conferences including the Energy Storage Summits in London and Texas running for almost as long, the awards are perhaps the strongest indication yet that energy storage is here, and here to stay.

Energy storage will be one of the most important technologies of the 21st Century – perhaps it already is – giving us all the best means to integrate renewable energy and maintain stability of a cleaner, more secure and more affordable energy system.

These awards will shine a light on the very best of this most important of industries, and give us all a chance to celebrate how far it has come; while never losing sight that this progress really just marks the beginning of something far bigger.
