Exploring the Journey of IPS: Pioneering Energy Storage Innovations and Green Transition in Europe

The transcript discusses the evolution and significance of energy storage systems in Europe, focusing on a company with 35 years of experience. The speaker highlights the importance of transitioning to green energy, noting that International Power Supply (IPS) was established during an era when Bulgaria faced frequent blackouts due to reliance on fossil fuels. IPS has since evolved into a leader in power conversion technologies and green energy solutions, even deploying systems globally, including Antarctica. The discussion emphasizes innovation as a gradual process requiring resilience and adaptability over time. It also touches upon the multifaceted nature of pricing for European-made products—considering long-term reliability—and stresses social acceptance's role in technology adoption within local communities. Additionally, regulatory frameworks are critiqued for sometimes hindering rather than promoting technological advancement; thus advocating for innovative policy development through regulatory sandboxes is suggested as essential for fostering market access and supporting homegrown industries' growth amidst evolving global demands.

Talk of session: The Most Important Regulatory Developments for the Energy Storage Industry

To provide much-needed flexibility to the increasingly renewables-dominated power systems, energy storage requires suitable market schemes and fair market conditions. Although authorities are increasingly recognizing the benefits of storage, regulations are still lagging behind. Lack of contracted revenues, barriers to co-location with PV, and an uneven playing field for European cleantech manufacturers are only a few examples of where storage needs regulatory action.In this panel, experts discuss the most exciting developments in regulatory frameworks, their suitability for unlocking the full potential of energy storage as well as the improvements that need to be made.

Hailed as the perfect solution for solar in the building environment for many years, only a very limited number of building integrated systems have been installed for various reasons. With the first cities, states and countries having passed laws for mandatory solar inclusion for new houses and leading global module manufacturers launching first BIPV products, it looks like the time has come for this to change.
