Through its responsibilities as host to E-world Energy & Water, Essen has carved itself a niche in the energy-efficient solutions industry. Essen is already a big site for the broader energy transition in the country, but the trade fair certainly captures the attention of the European energy industry. This event brings together exhibitors from around the globe, with a sizeable presence from EU countries, to present sustainable technologies and intelligent services aimed at shaping the future of energy. E-world serves as a crucial platform where industry leaders, innovators, and stakeholders examine and investigate the advancements made across a diverse range of sectors within the energy industry at large. Approximately half of all exhibitors are involved in energy services, while others work in fields such as information technology, energy trading, supply, mobility, marketing, transport, grids, and storage. Visitors to E-world had the opportunity to witness firsthand the technologies that are driving the energy transition. Storage solutions, large-scale photovoltaic applications, and hydrogen technologies were among the key highlights. Companies demonstrated how these innovations could be integrated to create a more sustainable and efficient energy system. Digital technologies play a significant role at E-world, showcasing how they can connect various components of the energy ecosystem from producers to consumers. Exhibitors present applications for mandatory dynamic electricity tariffs set to be implemented by 2025, as well as artificial intelligence solutions for improving customer communication in the energy sector. These innovations are critical for enhancing the flexibility and responsiveness of the energy grid, enabling a more efficient and reliable energy supply. Transformation towards climate neutrality is a central theme throughout the fair. Katrin Fuhrmann, Head of Origination at ENGIE, highlighted that successful transformation requires the integration of renewable energy generation, green energy storage, and efficient distribution systems.
