Energy storage systems are the key to the successful energy transition to full renewable energy supply and are more relevant today than ever before. They address numerous challenges of the energy transition at once:  stabilise the electricity grids, support the shutdown of power plants, make regionally generated electricity available locally and compensate for fluctuations in renewable energy generation. For more than 15 years now, EUROSOLAR has dedicated the annual International Conference on Renewable Energy Storage (IRES) to this important topic. The conference, which has been organised in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf since 2015, will focus on the current state of research and the social, political and legal framework conditions of energy storage.

The event will take place at Messe Düsseldorf from 20 to 22 September 2022, within its exhibitions on decarbonised industries. Programme, time and venue changes are at the discretion of the organisers and may be made at short notice, if permitted by the event management.

In up to four both plenary and parallel sessions of lectures, experts from science, practice, politics and society will focus on the current state of knowledge about energy storage.

In recent years, more than 4,000 visitors have attended Energy Storage Europe, the predecessor of Messe Düsseldorf’s decarbXpo and IRES, each year. In plenary sessions, topic-specific lecture series and discussion rounds, around 150 lectures will again be presented, including a large poster exhibition. At the same time, the P2X Conference will take place at the Messe Düsseldorf, bringing together experts and players in the field of power-to-X technologies. This ensures a good exchange between science and practice.
