INTERSTORES

We are proud to announce that @INTERSTORESEU has joined the Energy Nexus Cluster! INTERSTORES is advancing scalable seasonal Thermal Energy Storage (sTES) technologies to support the efficient integration of renewable energy sources and strengthen Europe’s future energy systems.

How do we turn innovation into real impact? At the #INTERSTORES WP6 workshop, partners aligned on market analysis, business models & exploitation strategies, key steps toward scalable thermal energy storage solutions. 📖 Read more: interstores.eu/wp6-workshop/

⚡ The latest European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES 9.5) projects that Europe’s energy storage capacity could exceed 215 GW by 2030, with battery storage alone expected to surpass 160 GW. 📊 Read the report here: energystorageeurope.eu/publication/em… #INTERSTORES

🔔 The abstract submission deadline for BauSIM 2026 in Zurich has been extended to 28 February. A great opportunity for researchers and practitioners in building simulation, energy systems and sustainable construction to share their work. More info: zhaw.ch/bausim2026
