The smarter E AWARD 2022: Rewarding Outstanding Projects for the Energy Transition

SolarPower Europe launches its Global Market Outlook for Solar Power exclusively at Intersolar Europe.

Political developments in recent months have demonstrated the need for a secure and independent energy supply for Europe. The success of the energy transition is linked to the accelerated introduction of a green hydrogen economy, in addition to the increased expansion of renewable energies.

Pioneering solutions to ensure the energy future have become more important than ever. Whether it is renewable power and heat generation technologies, innovative storage systems, smart grids, charging infrastructure or e-mobility: Promising solutions for renewable, decentralized, digital and reliable power supply and the coupling of the electricity, heat and transport sectors are conquering the market.

Once a year, EUPD Research analyzes all 1,800 energy suppliers of the D-A-CH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) in the context of the "Energiewende Award“. Within the innovations platform "The smarter E Europe", the best energy suppliers with outstanding products and services related to energy transition were honored with the "Energiewende Award" yesterday.

Olmatic was founded by three brothers with the goal of developing products and systems for energy management and digital networking.

Power2Drive Europe and the German Federal Association for eMobility (BEM) are working together more intensely than ever before.

Three triumphant exhibition days and two days full of inspiring conference sessions marked a real success for Europe’s largest platform for the energy industry: 1,356 exhibitors from 46 countries presenting their solutions on 132,000 square meters. More than 65,000 visitors from 149 countries exceeded expectations for this year’s The smarter E Europe – an increase of 33 percent compared to the last regular event in 2019.

After three days of exhibition with exciting forums, in-depth discussion and two days of inspiring sessions at the Power2Drive Europe Conference, Power2Drive Europe draws to a successful close.

The number of visitors waiting for the gates of The smarter E Europe to open last week was great. To avoid bottlenecks, excellent management was needed. The challenge was reminiscent of that facing conventional power grids: With the expansion of renewable energies, temporary or regional bottlenecks in the power lines may occur more and more often, so that not all of the renewable power can be transmitted.

There was no shortage of product innovations and new technical developments at ees Europe 2022, Europe’s largest and most international exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems that took place at Messe München between May 11 and 13, 2022.

After three successful exhibition days and two conference days at the International Congress Center München (ICM) which provided intensive discussions, captivating debates and product innovations, Intersolar Europe, the world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry, can look back on a successful event.

Kraftblock develops efficient high-temperature energy storage systems.

According to a recent study by EUPD Research, two-thirds of private households name home charging station as an important prerequisite for the purchase of an electric car. Energy suppliers won over just 42% of end consumers with their charging station offerings. Presented results are part of this year’s Energiewende Award for energy suppliers.

When it comes to green hydrogen, Germany is the most attractive market in Europe. Thanks to the political support, the strong industry demand for hydrogen and the growing share of renewable electricity generation, the country is at the forefront of the burgeoning hydrogen economy.

A recent EUPD Research survey conducted in the context of the Energiewende Award 2021 reveals that citizens focus more on their own energy consumption.

Photovoltaics (PV) is booming in Poland. According to SolarPower Europe, 2.2 gigawatts (GW) of solar power was installed in the country in 2020 – nearly three times as much as the 823 megawatts (MW) installed in 2019.

Nearly 1.4 million battery electric cars (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) were registered in Europe in 2020 – 137 percent more than in 2019.

Photovoltaics is booming in Europe, with around 18.7 gigawatts of new capacity installed last year. In addition to rooftop and ground-mounted solar module installations, the development of new areas of production – such as on façades, artificial bodies of water and fields – is key.

enspired trades its customers’ flexible assets on the short-term electricity market.

There is a strong chance that internal combustion engines will become niche products at some point this decade. In 2020, the number of electric cars worldwide rose to 10.9 million, which marks an increase of more than three million compared with the previous year.

The public charging infrastructure in Europe continues to grow rapidly - by 35 percent in 2020 compared to the previous year.

Our energy supply needs to become flexible, clean and cost-effective. This requires the coupling of the electricity, heat and transportation sectors.
