What is ESS-Energy Storage System -WORLD ?

To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the rapid expansion of renewable energy is essential.
As a result, Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are becoming increasingly crucial, enhancing energy efficiency and ensuring a stable power supply.
To support this shift, we are launching "ESS - Energy Storage System - WORLD," a dedicated exhibit zone within Japan’s leading smart grid exhibition, SMART GRID EXPO. This specialised showcase will highlight the latest advancements in energy storage technologies.

Features1
Held within SMART ENERGY WEEK, the world's leading exhibition for renewable energy technologies.

Products and technologies related to energy storage will be exhibited. Additionally, the event will attract power producers, energy storage providers, transmission and distribution companies, and other professionals looking for energy storage solutions.
