For the eighth time, the most innovative energy suppliers in the DACH region (German-speaking countries) will be honoured with the Energiewende Award (Energy Transition Award) in Munich on 20 June 2024 as part of The smarter E Europe, Europe's largest exhibition alliance for the energy industry. The award is aimed at energy suppliers whose commitment is driving forward the energy transition in the individual aspects (electricity, heat, energy efficiency and mobility). The winners of the Energiewende Award will present more detailed insights into the challenges of the energy transition for municipal utilities and their solution strategies in panel discussions during the award ceremony.The Energiewende Award will be extended to additional target markets for the first time in 2024. Other European energy suppliers from France, Italy and Denmark will also be invited to the award ceremony. The focus here is on municipal utilities that have a focus on renewable energies and stand out from other energy suppliers as so-called flagship projects. Based on their offerings in areas such as green electricity and green gas, PV systems and charging stations as well as their increased commitment to the energy transition, the lighthouses from the three countries will be invited to the award ceremony as role models and motivators for other municipal utilities.The initiators of the project are The smarter E Europe and EUPD Research.

Joint Session
The Most Important Regulatory Developments for the Energy Storage Industry

Tuesday, May 06, 2025, 02:30 pm - 04:00 pm

ICM München Room 5

To provide much-needed flexibility to the increasingly renewables-dominated power systems, energy storage requires suitable market schemes and fair market conditions. Although authorities are increasingly recognizing the benefits of storage, regulations are still lagging behind. Lack of contracted revenues, barriers to co-location with PV, and an uneven playing field for European cleantech manufacturers are only a few examples of where storage needs regulatory action.In this panel, experts discuss the most exciting developments in regulatory frameworks, their suitability for unlocking the full potential of energy storage as well as necessary improvements.

Quality Indicators in C&I Storage Systems: What to Look For

Wednesday, May 07, 2025, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

ICM München Room 5

As the share of fluctuating electricity producers (PV and wind power) continues to grow, electric energy storage systems will have to fulfill more and more functions in the grid. Batteries play a particularly important role here. From commercial and industrial storage systems to utility-scale storage systems for multi-use cases, the requirements are increasing. Key quality indicators are not only safety (including functional safety) but also reliability as well as performance, defined by efficiency and effectiveness, over an ideally long service life. Compliance with site-specific requirements, such as noise generation, is also important. In this session, these aspects will be examined from different points of view, providing recommendations beyond existing standards based on operating experience.

Forum
Agricultural PV: Combining Photovoltaics and Agriculture

Thursday, June 20, 2024, 11:45 am - 12:40 pm

Messe München Hall A3, Booth A3.150

Agricultural PV is on the rise - in many European countries, this application, which combines agriculture and PV on the same piece of land, is on the verge of a market breakthrough. The beneficial effects of PV systems on many types of crops as well as dual land use and protecting agricultural activity by avoiding competition for land are some clear advantages. In this session, pioneering agricultural PV companies will present their projects and best practices, demonstrate the profitability of agricultural PV and the benefits of this combination for agriculture and power generation.
