594 participants in 6 sessions over two days – the first EM-Power Europe Conference on May 10 and 11, 2022 in Munich was a complete success. Here, the solutions for a climate-neutral and reliable energy supply were discussed.

See for yourself – below, some conference participants share their impressions.

Carmen Gimeno, Secretary General, GEODE

“So glad to have contributed to this year’s edition of EM-Power Europe. Having the pleasure to chair a session on electric vehicles integration into the power grids, accompanied by outstanding speakers has given me the chance to share my knowledge on the topic but also to gain much more learning from experts’ experiences and interesting developments across Europe. Also, it gave us the opportunity for a fruitful high-level interactive discussion with audience. Have confirmed that European grids will cope with the challenge of rapidly integrating millions of electrical vehicles in our roads as we do already have an amazing infrastructure. Last but not least, the event has been very successfully organized and coordinated making it all in all an amazing experience. Looking forward to next edition!”

Jaideep Sandhu, Chief Technology Officer, Renewables Global Business Unit, ENGIE SA

“It was great to experience a very well organised and attended event. The sessions were thoughtfully put together with topics that are very relevant in the current and future context. The well experienced presenters and speakers were very good. Congratulations to the organisers.”

Nadina Baghina, Battery Storage Strategy and Development, Eneco

"The EM-Power Europe conference and The smarter E Europe have been a great opportunity to meet new people in the smart grid and battery storage business and hear about their experiences with PV coupled utility scale storage and grid balancing.

Due to the combination with the exhibition floor, it is for me the most important event of the year and THE place to learn about recent European projects and the latest on technology. Looking forward to next year’s event!”

Dr. Michael Schwan, Head of Power Technologies International (PTI), Siemens AG

“It was great to be at a physical event again, finally. And what an event! Huge participation in the exhibition and in the conference, with a very broad and up-to-date program.

I especially enjoyed the lively and interesting discussions with the audience in our session.”

Bruce Douglas, Director Business and Communications, Eurelectric

“Electrifying everything with renewable energy now needs scale and skills.

The smarter E brings the scale and EM-Power brings the skills – a great platform for meeting, exchanging knowledge and accelerating the energy transition.”

Len Wismeyer, Business Developer – Digital & Flex, TenneT TSO B.V.

“Different countries, similar challenges. The EM-Power Conference 2022 offered a great place for connecting with parties throughout the whole energy value chain. During the conference we had the opportunity to exchange and learn from other parties to join forces on our shared challenges.

We are happy to follow up with many of them during the next months and are looking forward for EM-Power Europe 2023!”

Laurent Schmitt, Head of Utilities and European Developments, Dcbel Europe

“The panel on residential solar and storage integration did raise the right questions on how to rapidly scale such developments taking advantage of new technological breakthroughs on DC conversion and V2X and how to maximize associated revenues for home owners who are not energy management experts.”

Michael Villa, Executive Director, smarten (Smart Energy Europe)

“After the covid break, EM-Power is back as a major conference to exchange on challenges and drivers for the smart energy business community in Europe. We appreciate the vast amount of innovation that is showcased and the huge impact that it has in making steps forward in the clean energy transition.

Policymakers should be inspired by this enthusiasm and shape regulatory frameworks enabling these solutions to flourish.”

Bram van der Wal, Director of Product, Net2Grid

“The event provided me an up to date view on state of the art & challenges in the various European national grids and it gave me good strategic input where our residential technologies and AI solution can make a difference also in the DSO space of the total energy eco-system.”

Markus Wunsch, Head of E-Mobility Power System Integration, Netze BW GmbH

"It was a great pleasure for me to be part of The smarter E – great speakers, exciting insights, international views and above all an intensive exchange. The conference proved how the mobility transition actually succeeds - together."
