4th Energy Storage Systems Summit (ESS SUMMIT 2026) – Special Session for Associations

The 4th Energy Storage Systems Summit (ESS SUMMIT 2026) was held in collaboration with the Association for Digitalization in Energy (EDİDER) and the Energy Storage Systems Association (EDSİS).

Our Association’s Board of Directors Chair, GAMA Energy Board Member and General Manager Mr. Tamer Çalışır, Mr. Cem Aşık, former Chairman of the EÜD Board of Directors, Member of the ETD Board of Directors, and CEO of IC Enterra; Mr. İbrahim Erden, President of TÜREB; and Mr. Alper Terciyanlı, Vice President of EDSİS; shared their valuable insights on energy storage systems during the “Special Session on Associations,” moderated by Ms. Elif Düşmez Tek, President of EDİDER.

Our Chairman stated that storage systems add value to electricity producers not only through their capacity but also through optimization strategies that align with market needs. Noting the need for a thorough analysis of battery runtime and investment costs in the face of changing price dynamics, he underscored the importance of advancing storage solutions in an integrated manner with market needs and shared examples from abroad.
We would like to thank the organizing associations for their efforts in hosting the summit, all the speakers who contributed with their valuable panel discussions, and the participants who showed interest.
