Is long-duration energy storage a disruptive technology waiting its turn—or the backbone infrastructure of a new energy economy, capable of replacing fossil dependence with resilient, investable systems at global scale?

A private (by invitation only) dialogue session hosted by Rocket Mountain Institute and LDES Council.

As global energy systems collide with rising demand, climate volatility, and renewed fossil investment, the question is no longer whether to transform—but how fast, and through what kind of infrastructure. This invitation-only business roundtable convenes senior leaders to examine the emergence of a new energy economy, where long-duration energy storage (LDES) is not a peripheral technology, but foundational infrastructure. Co-hosted by Rocky Mountain Institute and the Long Duration Energy Storage Council at the TPC House, the session creates a high-trust space for pragmatic, market-driven dialogue. Participants will explore how next-generation energy infrastructure—from storage and grids to industrial electrification—can unlock system resilience, enable renewable dominance, and reshape value creation across power, industry, and finance. Grounded in live deals and real procurement challenges, the discussion moves beyond disruption narratives to focus on bankability, standards, revenue certainty, and investment readiness. Ultimately, the roundtable asks how the private sector can lead the build-out of energy systems that are not only cleaner—but more resilient, investable, and economically transformative.
