Cell to Revenue: Strategy & Investment Outlook
06 May 2026 @ 10:00 - 14:00
On 6 May 2026, at Nod Makerspace in Bucharest (see the map!) Energynomics will organize with the support of our sponsors SolarToday Romania, Jinko ESS, Power Konnect and Sinexcel, the first edition of “Cell to Revenue: Strategy & Investment Outlook”, a focused half-day event dedicated to the battery energy storage ecosystem and the partnerships required to make BESS projects bankable, scalable and operationally successful.
The event is designed as a concentrated and practical conversation about how energy storage projects are built, financed, optimized, operated and secured. Rather than looking at storage through a single lens, the conference brings together complementary perspectives from across the value chain, creating a 360-degree view of the BESS ecosystem and of the collaboration models that turn storage ambition into executable projects.
REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED – SOLD OUT
Cell to Revenue: Strategy & Investment Outlook is conceived as a compact, invitation-only platform for relevant dialogue, high-value networking and ecosystem visibility, bringing together developers, investors, financiers, IPPs, asset managers, traders, aggregators, EPCs, integrators, technology providers, service partners and large energy users interested in the real logic of BESS project delivery.
CONTEXT
As the energy storage market matures, project success depends on much more than technology alone. Bankable and scalable BESS projects require alignment across multiple layers: system design, integration, financing, energy market strategy, operational performance, maintenance, physical protection and cybersecurity.
In this context, Cell to Revenue: Strategy & Investment Outlook is built around the need for an ecosystem view. Its purpose is to connect the key perspectives that shape the full lifecycle of an energy storage asset and to show how technology, finance, operations and commercialization intersect in real project logic.
The conference also reflects SolarToday Romania’s evolution into a provider of complete energy storage solutions with end-to-end capabilities, spanning system design, integration, commissioning and long-term services, and its capacity to convene a practical conversation around the next phase of storage market development.
FORMAT
The event is structured as a concise half-day format, built for clarity, relevance and practical value:
- Opening session – market perspective combined with concrete partnership and transaction logic
- Technology & system reality session – focused interventions on performance enablers across the BESS architecture
- Investment & risk reality session – practical viewpoints on delivery, bankability, asset performance and long-term risk
- Networking lunch break – targeted interaction among participants from across the storage ecosystem
- Closing session – final strategic perspective and series continuity
The emphasis is on short, concentrated interventions and complementary expertise rather than long presentations, with the goal of delivering a practical and high-level overview of how storage projects move from concept to value creation.
PARTICIPATION
Cell to Revenue: Strategy & Investment Outlook is designed for a selected audience of professionals directly involved in the energy storage market and adjacent sectors. The event targets:
- Project developers
- Investors and financiers
- IPPs and asset managers
- Traders and aggregators
- EPCs and integrators
- Large energy users and strategic offtakers
- Technology and service partners active in power storage
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how the BESS ecosystem connects across its main layers, direct access to complementary expertise, practical examples of partnership logic and meaningful networking in a highly relevant professional setting.
Participation is based on invitation and confirmation by the organizers, within the limit of available seats.
