OFF-GRID Expo + Conference 2022

The OFF-GRID Expo + Conference (short: OEC) in Augsburg is the only neutral congress trade fair in Europe focused on the off-grid solar, wind and hydropower systems sector. With its practice-oriented, hybrid format consisting of an English-language conference, trade fair and community network happening, it represents the highlight at the end of the year in December. More than 50 companies will present their know-how and showcase their innovative products and services to the approximately 900 conference attendees and trade show visitors. The official conference partner is the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE).

With its know-how transfer, the meeting point of the off-grid community directly contributes to the direct achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Affordable and clean energy as well as access to clean drinking water is only possible in large parts of the world through the expansion of off-grid energy supply.

Therefore, find out about the latest trends in self-sufficient energy supply at the international congress fair OFF-GRID Expo + Conference from December 1-2, 2022 in Augsburg! On November 30, 2022, the day before the start of the OEC, some companies will offer exclusive product trainings at the conference center of Messe Augsburg as part of the TechDay. Participation is free of charge and requires pre-registration during ticket purchase.

On December 13^th 2022, the Franco-German Office for the Energy Transition (DFBEW/OFATE) will hold an online conference on the following topic:

Large-scale rooftop PV: regulatory framework, incentives and challenges

The development of PV capacities is an integral part of energy policy in France and Germany. In France, the development targets have been raised to 100 GW by 2050 and to 215 GW by 2030 in Germany. This implies that the implementation of solar projects has to be accelerated. In addition to ground-mounted solar panels, the use of rooftop PV is essential for achieving these targets, as this segment offers great, as yet untapped potential.

Companies can accelerate the necessary implementation dynamic. In addition to environmental benefits, solar projects rely on business models that can offer competitive prices and long-term price hedging – a challenge that is particularly important in the current energy crisis.

But despite the incentives and legal obligations, there is a discrepancy between the ambitious targets and the actual number of new rooftop PV projects. For example, in the last tenders for PV installations on buildings in both Germany and France, the volumes of the bidders' projects fell far short of the tendered quantities. Currently, the construction of some plants is paused or even stopped due to rising raw material costs, financing conditions and delivery times.

The conference will discuss these challenges as well as the outlook for large-scale rooftop PV installations. Among others, the following questions will be discussed:

• What are the current and future legal frameworks for large rooftop installations? What are the market dynamics in France and Germany?
• What business models can add value to large rooftop installations and what challenges do these projects face?
• Which instruments could be used to accelerate the development of rooftop PV systems?

Der Beginn einer neuen Ära

Der Ukraine-Krieg ist eine Zäsur für das System der Energieversorgung in Europa. Wie können wir in dieser Situation Versorgungssicherheit für Industrie und Verbraucher gewährleisten? Und wie können wir die Klimawende schaffen und gleichzeitig unabhängiger werden?

In dieser unsicheren und extrem herausfordernden Situation ist der Dialog zwischen den Akteuren aus Energiewirtschaft, Industrie, Wissenschaft und Politik wichtiger denn je. Das Handelsblatt bietet hierfür eine unabhängige Plattform, auf der wesentliche Weichen der Branche für das Jahr gestellt werden – den Handelsblatt Energie-Gipfel. Am dritten Tag und bei der zweiten Abendveranstaltung sind wir zu Gast bei Vattenfall im neuen Headquarter Germany, wo Nachhaltigkeit sowie die Transformation der Branche erlebbar werden. Sichern Sie sich direkt Ihren Platz – die Plätze dort sind streng limitiert.

Ensuring the Best in O&M, EPC and Asset Management

As Europe needs to reach the TW solar level during this decade to stay on a Paris 1.5° path and add several more solar TW before climate neutrality is reached, the solar industry has to step up deployment speed dramatically, while at the same time ensuring the continued long-term quality of assets during an unprecedented scale-up in its size.

The Solar Quality Summit Europe will bring together all stakeholders in solar quality management, including investors, service providers and technology providers, to give them an overview of the latest market developments, sharing best practice in EPC, O&M, and Asset Management, exploring challenges, and discovering emerging technologies and trends.
