The close collaboration with the International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES) by EUROSOLAR, which takes place at the same time, is being continued. The next 6th Energy Storage Europe will take place from 14 to 16 March 2017, the 7th Energy Storage Europe from 13 to 15 March 2018. The renowned OTTI institute will organise its Power2Gas Conference again at Energy Storage Europe.
Whole variety of storage applications
Hans Werner Reinhard, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf: “The renewed growth and breadth of exhibited storage technologies show that the energy storage concept is working for exhibitors and visitors equally. From Power2Gas, to battery storage, to thermal and mechanical storage, trade visitors find suitable products and partners for a whole variety of different applications all pooled together at one trade fair.”
Even better presentation options
Setting the dates for the next few years and moving to a new hall offer the growing number of exhibitors even better planning and presentation options. At the same time, the existing close relationship between Messe Düsseldorf and the energy sector and industry should be used in the exhibitors’ interests. “Many potential users of energy storage are literally located on our doorstep, and we foster close business relationships with others through our other trade fairs. New possible uses and business models that support their business are resulting for them from the increasing maturity of technologies. We will communicate this intensively,” adds Reinhard.
Renowned partner OTTI
The Energy Storage Europe Conference will be enhanced again by the collaboration with the Ostbayerischen Technologie-Transfer-Institut OTTI e.V. With its more than 200 seminars and conferences, OTTI is one of the most renowned organisers of specialist conferences. The OTTI symposiums for photovoltaic and solar thermal technology at Banz Abbey are among the most important industry meeting points for solar technology in Germany and have already been taking place for 30 years.
Growth of more than 25 percent expected
Energy Storage Europe 2017 is the trade fair with the world’s largest conference programme on energy storage. The conferences include the 6th Energy Storage Conference (ESE) and the 11th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES 2017). The focal points are on economy and finances (ESE) as well as science and social policy (IRES). At the same time, the side events, the 6th OTTI-Conference Power2Gas and the 11th Storage Day, will take place on the trade fair grounds in Düsseldorf. Compared with the previous year, Energy Storage Europe 2016 grew around 60 percent to more than 3,000 visitors from 54 countries. Approximately 140 exhibitors presented themselves. For 2017, further growth of more than 25 percent is expected. (HCN)
