European power investment faces pressure from shifting geopolitics and regulatory change, forcing capital allocators to revisit portfolio assumptions. This summit gathers asset managers, banks and operators to examine investment risk and deployment in a volatile transition.
Practical details for the 2026 edition
The European Power Investment Summit 2026 runs 16 to 17 September in the City of London. Daily sessions are scheduled from about 08:00 to 17:30 BST. Standard tickets are listed at £695 GBP plus UK VAT. The event marks Wood Mackenzie’s second annual European summit on power investment.
Agenda highlights and discussion topics
Program topics published by the organisers include the impact of geopolitics on energy investment, assessing Europe’s net zero strategy from an investor angle, lessons from negative price episodes in the Iberian market, and the role of private capital in grid modernisation. Other sessions cover the business case for battery energy storage systems, industrial demand from data centres and asset management for renewables owners.
Speakers and participating organisations
Named speakers include Rocío Sicre from EDP Spain, João Costeira from Repsol, Zosia Riesner from Lightsource bp, Harald Överholm from Alight, Emma Ford from Eclipse Power and David Ochoa from Bank of America. Attending organisations listed on the programme include EDF, Repsol, Equinor UK, Ltd, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Santander, Schroders Greencoat, Fluence and Rolls Royce SMR among others from the energy and finance sectors.
Preparing B2B outreach for London 2026
- Target the right counterparties. Focus on investors for funding and on system operators for grid access conversations.
- Bring concise investment materials. A short project summary with revenue model and risk assumptions speeds decision making.
- Book meetings in advance. Two days of intensive sessions require pre-arranged bilateral slots to secure time with key contacts.
- Provide metrics for new technologies. For BESS and grid services, include estimates of ancillary revenue streams and market price assumptions.
Tactical suggestions for funders and operators
The programme mixes strategic panels with investor-focused briefings. With banks and asset managers present, expect detailed discussion on due diligence, contract structures and return expectations. If seeking capital, prepare a 15 to 20 minute pitch that addresses cashflow sensitivity and regulatory exposure.
