A decade of convening. One focus: storage.

Since 2014, Vostad has convened the leaders who build energy infrastructure.

Grid-scale storage has moved from the margins to the centre of the global energy economy. It is now the deciding factor in how fast renewables scale, how stable grids remain, and how capital is deployed.

BESS FORUM exists to bring the people making those decisions into one room.
