Energy Storage Summit 2026 - USA | Informa Markets | TBA, Dallas, TX, USA

Returning from the previous year’s sell-out event, the energy storage industry met in the heart of Dallas to discuss business. Attendees joined for two days of content, strategic networking, and the not-to-be-missed Summit afterparties at the 7th edition of the Summit.

The 2025 Summit was the perfect platform to connect key industry players across the entire value chain of this buzzing US market. Hosted in Texas, a renewable and business hub, as well as the driving force behind many energy storage installations in the US this year, the Summit is the perfect place to meet with fellow industry players and address the most critical market issues.

Why Attend in 2026?

The Summit is the only place where you are guaranteed to meet all the most important investors, developers, IPPs, RTOs and ISOs, policymakers, utilities, energy buyers, service providers, consultancies, and technology providers in one room. Join us in March to ensure that your deals get done as efficiently as possible.

We look forward to meeting you again in 2026 at the most comprehensive energy storage conference in the US, where all your questions will get answered and those important connections made.
