BATCON-2 is our flagship conference for those building Germany's grid-scale battery storage sector. Over 300 developers, investors, utilities, traders, technology providers and policymakers in one room in Munich.
One focused day on the questions defining the market today: Market outlook and revenue environment, financing and bankability, tolling and merchant models, German and European regulations, grid connection and DSO/TSO dynamics, BESS optimisation and operations.
Sessions are built around moderated debates and audience Q&A rather than one-way presentations, designed for an audience that knows the market from the inside. The conversation will continue over drinks and dinner once the sessions wrap up for the day.
We review all registrations to make sure the audience is relevant, keeping the conversation focused and valuable for everyone.
Debate-Driven Sessions
Challenging debates that prioritise critical questions over comfortable consensus
Strategic Connections
Dedicated networking breaks to grow your circle, followed by the evening of drinks and dinner
Expert Insights
Direct perspectives from industry leaders with deep, hands-on experience

We develop, own and operate our own BESS assets with a current focus on Germany. Our asset pipeline is currently at +300 MW / +600 MWh of live, in construction or ready-to-build assets. All of our assets are part of LAYR where their flexibility is optimised and in long term tolls.
With our flexibility LAYR platform, we virtually (dis)aggregate BESS assets, to provide energy flexibility "as-a-service" to power producers, traders, optimisers, grid operators, and energy-intensive businesses like data centres.
With LAYR, BESS owners benefit from access to top tier optimisers (with performance-based capacity allocation) and tolling offtakers. Further they get the ability to individually calibrate the revenue stack of their BESS (contracted / merchant), and a one-stop-shop for asset infrastructure setup and prequalification.
Flexibility offtakers can access storage capacity through an asset-light model, without the need for their own infrastructure, and manage it seamlessly via the LAYR API.
