About the Summit

The second annual Wood Mackenzie European Power Investment Summit returns to London on 16–17 September 2026, bringing together senior investors, project developers, utilities, policymakers, and grid operators to examine the challenges and opportunities shaping investment across the European power market.

With the market facing continued volatility and major changes in policy, infrastructure, and energy demand, the summit will provide insights from Wood Mackenzie power research analysts and senior industry leaders to help inform investment strategies across the UK and Europe.

• Grid Modernisation: Consider the role of private capital in developing a fit-for-purpose European grid.
• BESS Investment: Examine the opportunities and challenges surrounding the rapidly expanding battery energy storage pipeline.
