09 apr Explore the Future of Grid Stability at EM-Power Europe 2026
From Blackout to Breakthrough
Since the blackout on the Iberian Peninsula a year ago, there has been extensive discussion about security of supply and resilient power grids. The blackout was a wake-up call – but not proof that reliable supply depends on conventional power plants. Alternative technologies such as synchronous condensers, grid-forming inverters, battery storage systems, and demand-side flexibility have long been able to stabilize voltage and frequency. However, to fully leverage this potential, the grid must be expanded, modernized, and digitalized.
Discover the technologies addressing these challenges at EM-Power Europe from June 23–25, 2026, in Munich. The International Exhibition for Energy Management and Integrated Energy Solutions focuses on modernization, digitalization, intelligent grid control, and the integration of decentralized systems to create the flexibility needed for a stable, reliable, and renewable electricity supply. With its wide range of topics, EM-Power Europe is aimed at grid operators, utilities, project developers, installers, energy consultants and managers, service providers for electricity trading and flexibility management, as well as decision makers from industry and real estate.
Utility Lounge: From Refreshing to Real Insights
An exclusive retreat and tailored information offering await energy suppliers and grid operators at EM-Power Europe. The Utility Lounge provides space for informal conversations and networking, with comfortable seating, refreshing drinks, and snacks. The Utility Peer Exchange focuses on practical insights and real-world experiences from other utilities. Guided tours will be available after the Utility Peer Exchange to give attendees an overview of the exhibition and an opportunity to explore technological solutions and meet suppliers in person. Access to the Lounge is by invitation only. If you are interested in a Utility Lounge ticket, please write to utility@thesmartere.de.
The exhibition will be accompanied by the EM-Power Europe Conference from June 22–23. Attendees can look forward to six sessions featuring international experts covering topics such as integrating hybrid assets for grid stability, the grid integration of e-mobility, operating multi-asset sites under grid constraints, the evolution of DSO flexibility markets, and digital platforms, AI, and data-driven energy systems.
