The smarter E Europe 2025: Studies, Technologies and Market Trends for the Energy System of Tomorrow
Organizers and exhibitors are looking forward to The smarter E Europe 2026, which will take place next year from Tuesday, 23 June to Thursday, 25 June.
One of this year’s highlights was the release of several key studies and whitepapers focusing on critical questions for the future of the energy sector - providing solid data, market-driven insights and practical recommendations for business, policy and society.
Global outlook: Solar energy remains the driving force of the transition
The European industry association SolarPower Europe presented its latest “Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2025-2029” in Munich. The report offers a comprehensive, data-based analysis of global PV markets and outlines projections through 2029 in three scenarios. With approximately 600 GW of newly installed PV capacity in 2024 alone, solar energy continues to lead the expansion of new generation capacity worldwide. In addition to regional market trends, the report provides insights into investment conditions, political frameworks and recommendations for accelerating growth.

Battery storage on the rise: Europe prepares for the next phase
Also introduced in Munich was the new “European Market Outlook for Battery Storage 2025-2029”. The study explores the strong growth of stationary battery storage - from residential systems to large-scale industrial solutions. It highlights the role of storage technologies in grid stability, energy security and reaching Europe’s climate goals. The report includes clear recommendations for regulatory measures to support continued market growth.

Whitepaper: Bidirectional charging as a key to sector integration
Another important contribution came from the new Whitepaper on Bidirectional Charging, which outlines the vast potential of smart charging infrastructure. Electric vehicles are increasingly seen as flexible energy storage units that can absorb surplus electricity from renewables and feed it back into homes, businesses or the grid as needed. This technology reduces grid loads, lowers infrastructure costs and opens up new economic opportunities for utilities, fleet operators and households alike. To realize this potential at scale, clear regulatory frameworks, technical standards and powerful energy management systems are essential - a topic that received significant attention in Munich.
