On the eve of the official start of The smarter E Europe, the continent’s largest alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry, the winners of this year’s The smarter E AWARD were honored at an official ceremony.

The energy transition is advancing rapidly on a global scale. In many places, electricity from renewable sources of energy is no longer the exception; it is now the rule.

This year’s edition of The smarter E South America, LATAM’s Largest Platform for the New Energy and Mobility World, wound up on last Thursday 29th after featuring 650+ exhibitors and welcoming around 55,000 visitors from 50 countries and more than 2,500 attendees to its four parallel conferences delivered by more than 172 global decision-makers spanning the whole renewable energy supply chain.

The Eletrotec+EM Power conference addresses electrical infrastructure and energy management for buildings and industries. The 2024 edition is structured around three main axes: updates on technical standards, protection against atmospheric discharges, and medium and low voltage installation topics. These are cross-cutting engineering themes that apply to photovoltaic systems as well as energy storage systems and to charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

Eletrotec+EM-Power South America, The Exhibition for Electrical Infrastructure and Energy Management, will be held at the Expo Center Norte in São Paulo on August 27–29. The exhibition & conference event focuses on technologies for electrical energy distribution as well as services and software solutions for energy management at grid, utility or building level.

The next Intersolar Summit Brasil Sul, scheduled for October 29–30, 2024, has been postponed to October 28–29, 2025.

Brazil can claim to be a beacon in renewable energy. In 2023, 93.1% of Brazil’s electricity came from renewable energy, with solar energy as the second largest source after hydropower with 37.2 GW or 16.5%.

Brazil and Mexico are highly dynamic markets for energy transition solutions.

The smarter E AWARD moves into the next round and has been completely revamped. From December 1, 2023, companies will have the chance to submit their innovations or projects and compete for The smarter E AWARD – for the first time in five categories.
