Introducing...
SolarPLUS Central & Eastern Europe
Shaping the Next Phase of Utility-Scale Solar + Storage in Central and Eastern Europe
24-25 November 2026 | Warsaw Presidential Hotel, Warsaw, Poland
Why We’re Becoming SolarPLUS
Central and Eastern Europe has emerged as one of the world's most dynamic solar and energy storage markets. From Poland's rapidly expanding BESS pipeline and Romania's landmark CfD-backed solar developments to Bulgaria's subsidy-free solar growth, the region is attracting significant local and international investment and establishing itself as a key driver of Europe's energy transition.
Now in its sixth year, SolarPLUS Central & Eastern Europe brings together the industry leaders shaping this growth: developers with active project pipelines, investors deploying capital, lenders financing projects, and the advisers, engineers, utilities, and technology providers enabling successful delivery. As the market matures, utility-scale solar is no longer developing in isolation. Project success increasingly depends on storage integration, grid access, regulatory evolution, market flexibility, and the ability to create bankable, long-term revenue models.
The evolution from Large Scale Solar CEE to SolarPLUS CEE reflects this new reality. The Summit's expanded focus encompasses integrated solar and storage development, hybrid projects, grid strategy, and the commercial frameworks that will underpin the region's next phase of growth.
While the name has changed, the core proposition remains the same: a senior-level audience, a market-driven programme, and discussions grounded in real projects, real transactions, and real opportunities across Central and Eastern Europe.

Discussing the Key Trends in the Industry
Grid Constraints and Curtailment Crisis
A core theme for this year’s conference is the critical challenge of grid connectivity across CEE markets. Curtailment is significantly eroding revenues, with capture rates plummeting to 50-60% of baseload.
Hybrid Project Economics and Battery Storage Integration
Solar and storage configurations, examining the practical complexities of structuring, financing, and deploying hybrid assets.
Project Bankability and Financing Evolution
Multiple sessions dedicated to how lenders are adapting underwriting models to manage merchant volatility and curtailment risk.
Corporate PPAs and Offtake Structures
Exploration of the next generation of PPA deals in CEE, including crossborder arrangements, 24 hour matching requirements, and scope 2 compliance.
Supply Chain Security and Module Sourcing
Dedicated sessions on navigating European production versus global pricing dynamics, balancing cost competitiveness with supply chain security, and adapting to evolving compliance frameworks.
CEE Market Deep-Dives
Country-specific sessions examining development opportunities, regulatory frameworks, and market dynamics across key CEE territories including Ukraine, Romania, Czech Republic, and Bulgaria.
Why Attend the Summit in 2026?
Central and Eastern Europe’s solar market is entering a more complex phase, defined by grid constraints, storage readiness and changing policy frameworks. SolarPLUS CEE is designed for professionals navigating these realities, bringing together the insight, connections and regional perspective needed to move utility-scale projects forward.
Each CEE market is developing at a different pace, shaped by local grid readiness, regulation and investment appetite. SolarPLUS CEE gives you a clearer view of where opportunities are emerging, where risks remain, and how peers are navigating complexity across the region.
The SolarPLUS CEE programme is built around the challenges developers, investors and utilities are facing today. Sessions focus on grid access, storage co-location, hybrid project design, financing structures and regulatory direction, with insights grounded in active projects across the region.
SolarPLUS CEE bring together a senior audience involved in the delivery of utility-scale solar and storage projects. The format supports meaningful conversations around live projects, procurement needs and partnerships, helping delegates build relationships that extend beyond the event.
Speaking Opportunities Available for 2026
We’re now inviting speakers to join the 2026 SolarPLUS CEE programme
