As Europe’s power system shifts towards high shares of wind and solar, prolonged periods of low renewable generation, known as Dunkelflaute events, are emerging as a critical challenge for energy security and system adequacy. These multi-day weather patterns expose growing questions around how Europe ensures reliable electricity supply in a net-zero energy system.
Watch our cleantech analyst, Dr. Antoine Koen, speak in a webinar co-organized with Energy Storage Europe, Flow Batteries Europe, World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Cleantech for Europe, EnergyTag, LDES Council, and Future Cleantech Architects.
Building on a joint industry and civil society letter published in January 2026 calling for a sequenced framework for long duration energy storage (LDES), this webinar focused on the practical policy and market mechanisms needed to deploy LDES at scale across Europe.
