Munich Hosts Global Energy Innovations
The smarter E Europe will host the Special Exhibit Renewables 24/7 from June 23 to 25, 2026, in Munich. This event will showcase the feasibility of continuous renewable energy supply.
Best practices, presentations, and live demonstrations will illustrate how round-the-clock renewable energy can be achieved. Solar and wind power, recognised for their cost-efficiency, are central to the exhibit’s focus.
On June 23, an exclusive study conducted with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems will be presented. Titled Pathways to a Renewable Energy Supply, the study uses Germany as a case study to dispel myths about renewable system stability.
Industry Insights and Developments
Visitors will explore four thematic areas: industry, commerce, residential applications, and mobility. These sections will highlight how power generation, storage, and digitalization technologies integrate effectively.
Markus Elsässer, Founder and CEO of Solar Promotion GmbH, emphasised the economic advantages of renewable energy, stating, “Electricity from solar and wind is already unbeatably cheap. Secure supply is guaranteed through flexibilization and sector coupling.”
The event will also feature live demos and expert presentations addressing the potential and challenges of transitioning to a renewable energy system. Jens Mohrmann, CEO of Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH & Co. KG, remarked on the exhibit’s importance, saying, “With the special exhibit, we will highlight the right topics at the right time.”
The smarter E Europe, as Europe’s largest alliance of energy exhibitions, will unite four key events: Intersolar Europe, ees Europe, Power2Drive Europe, and EM-Power Europe. More than 2,800 exhibitors and over 100,000 visitors from around the world are expected to attend.
The exhibition will take place at Messe München, providing a platform for global innovators and industry leaders to discuss the future of energy. Attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the special exhibit’s four thematic areas, which demonstrate how power generation, storage, flexibilization, and digitalization work cohesively.
According to the International Energy Agency, there is a predicted global 2.6-fold capacity growth for solar and wind energy between 2022 and 2030. This highlights the urgency and potential of transitioning to renewable energy sources.
The event aims to show that while wind and solar are volatile and do not provide a constant power supply, solutions and technologies are available to manage fluctuations and surplus generation. Companies, utilities, and consumers can benefit from these advancements.
