About this event
This Halloween, GridBeyond invites you to step into the shadows and discover the darker side of energy storage. While the industry is full of opportunity, there are also plenty of chilling tales where projects have gone horribly wrong. From assets haunted by poor optimization, to those cursed by risky trading decisions, and even systems trapped in the cobwebs of outdated forecasting methods, the risks are real—and they can be terrifying.
In our special event, we’ll lift the lid on these real-world “horror stories” from the market. Expect a spine-tingling mix of light-hearted Halloween fun and serious lessons that every asset owner and operator needs to hear.
Together, we’ll explore:
- The haunting of revenue forecasts past: when bad assumptions come back to haunt your balance sheet
- The curse of the midnight trader: how poor market timing can drain value faster than a vampire at dusk.
- Zombie BESS: the battery asset that wouldn’t die (or make money): discover why some projects keep going but never deliver the profits they promised
- Stop feeding the zombies: how to identify failing projects early and avoid throwing good money after bad
But this isn’t just about ghost stories. Our experts will also arm you with proven tools and strategies to ward off these dangers. From smarter optimization techniques to advanced forecasting and risk management approaches, you’ll learn how to keep your assets safe, strong, and profitable, even in today’s unpredictable and often frightening market environment.
So, if you dare, join us for this one-of-a-kind session. You’ll leave with insights that not only protect your business but also help ensure your projects remain alive and thriving; no matter what monsters may lurk in the market.
Dare to attend?
