LDES Council is a global non-profit with over 60 members in 24 countries.

We provide member-driven, fact-based guidance and research to governments, grid operators and major electricity users on the deployment of LDES.

Mission

The LDES Council unites global industry leaders, customers and policymakers to accelerate the innovation, commercialisation, and deployment of long duration energy storage technologies. By advancing real projects already in motion and sharing data-driven insights, we help scale LDES solutions today – educating utilities and industrial customers on how long duration energy storage supports their goals, informing policymakers to enable adoption and advocating for flexible and secure energy systems that meet the growing demands of electrification, serving communities and industries worldwide.

The LDES Council provides education and advocacy services to help advance the adoption of long duration energy storage and accelerate carbon neutrality.

VISION STATEMENT

Imagine a future where the lights never go out and the heat is always on, powered by clean energy. We are making that a reality by building a foundation of long duration energy storage, bringing reliable and affordable power to every corner of the world.

This future, which requires an immense 140 TWh of long duration energy storage by 2040, will be achieved because we educate, unite and advocate for global deployment of LDES.

OUR ORIGIN STORY

Founded at COP26 in 2021, the LDES Council unites leaders from governments and industries to accelerate long duration energy storage – the key to delivering clean, reliable power and heat 7/24. Through our three pillars—Educate, Unite, Advocate – we provide trusted insights, bring competitors to the same table, and shape policies that open markets and reward LDES for the value it delivers. Together, we’re turning the vision of a resilient, decarbonised energy future into reality.
