On 12 February in Madrid, a new edition of FES Iberia – Renewables & Storage will take place, marking the opening event of the 2026 international tour of the Future Energy Summit (FES).
The conference will bring together over 30 high-level decision-makers from government bodies, energy companies, technology providers and investment funds to analyse the present and future of the energy transition in Europe and Latin America, with a clear priority: energy storage.
Against a backdrop of accelerating regulatory frameworks and emerging business opportunities, FES Iberia will offer a technically rigorous debate alongside dedicated networking spaces. Hundreds of industry representatives are expected to explore new partnerships for renewable energy and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects across the region.
One of the core pillars of the agenda will be a multi-dimensional analysis of energy storage, covering regulation, technological innovation, business models and financing structures. Confirmed speakers include executives from leading utilities, technology companies, public institutions and investment platforms with a strong footprint in Europe and Latin America.
Among the most prominent representatives from the public sector are:
