Commercial and industrial (C&I) storage is among the fastest-growing markets in Europe in terms of annual year-on-year growth, yet in absolute installed capacity, it remains five times smaller than the residential segment. Still, it is attracting strong attention: utility-scale developers and residential providers are now targeting C&I as their next growth area. EV players are also entering the space by adding storage to charging infrastructure and exploring second-life battery applications.This session explores whether future growth will create space for all players, the main business cases and technological solutions C&I developers are betting on, and the key markets most likely to shape the future of this segment.
