About The smarter E South America | Impressions

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 global shift towards e-mobility represents a transformative moment in the history of transportation. As countries around the world accelerate their efforts to reduce carbon emissions and embrace sustainable solutions, Brazil’s role in this transition will be increasingly important.

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.

Brazil's electric mobility market is at a crucial juncture. The highly anticipated Power2Drive South America conference is set to convene industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to explore the burgeoning electric mobility market in Brazil. The event will feature a series of insightful panels and discussions, focusing on the latest advancements, opportunities, and challenges within the sector.

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.

Power2Drive South America will premiere as an exhibition and conference at the Expo Center Norte in São Paulo, Brazil, on 27–29 August 2024. Power2Drive South America focuses on charging infrastructure and e-mobility, and highlights the significance of electric vehicles for the energy mix as it bears on the feasibility of sustainable transport in the future. The event introduces innovations on charging solutions, battery concepts and business models for sustainable e-mobility.

Among the guests of the conference, representatives from the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), the National System Operator (ONS), the Energy Research Company (EPE), and ApexBrasil stand out.

Intersolar South America, LATAM’s Largest Exhibition and Conference for the Solar Industry, will be held at the Expo Center Norte in São Paulo on August 27–29. Highly qualified industry professionals will be able to delve into photovoltaics, PV production and solar thermal technologies.

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.
