This panel will bring together key players responsible for grid operations from Poland, Ukraine and Lithuania, as well as technology providers who have participated in recent decoupling efforts. Following the recent decoupling of the Baltic States from the Russian grid and during Poland's presidency of the EU Council - which has put energy security at the forefront - the panel will examine how industrial-scale energy storage systems are becoming essential for both system resilience and strategic infrastructure planning in Central and Eastern Europe.

We discuss:

- How large-scale storage systems stabilize the operation of the power system under real-world conditions and their role in synchronizing the Baltic States with the continental grid
- Why grid-scale energy storage should be treated as critical and dual-use infrastructure
- The regulatory and cyber security framework in the Baltics for grid-connected BESS
- How technology providers and operators can protect storage systems from cyber threats
- How to protect the energy system from blackouts, lessons Poland and the EU should learn after the crisis in Spain and Portugal
