Grid Scale Battery Energy Storage – Understanding the Risk
11th-12th February 2026 | Greater Manchester Training Centre
Brought to you by Fire Knowledge in association with Fike and Greenfire Solutions
As grid-scale battery energy storage continues to expand across the UK, so too does the need for a clear, evidence-based understanding of the risks, protections and real-world implications. This two-day conference brings together leading specialists, operational experts and industry innovators to explore the latest developments, challenges and lessons shaping this rapidly evolving field. Across both days, delegates will gain vital insights into emerging technologies, evolving regulations, incident case studies and the future direction of national guidance.
Day 1 is dedicated to Fire and Rescue Service personnel and is free to attend (please ‘purchase’ your ticket to ensure you are registered). It offers an essential opportunity for operational staff, fire safety teams, and senior leaders to hear directly from experts on protection strategies, monitoring and suppression solutions, smoke plume behaviours, environmental impacts and lessons from live incidents.
Day 2 focuses on Local Authority Planning Officers, Elected Members involved in planning committees, and energy companies/planning consultancies. This day provides critical clarity on regulatory developments, environmental considerations, permitting implications and risk-informed planning for new or expanding battery storage projects.
