Utilities Business Review Europe Conferences

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have become a strategic imperative for grids operators, Independent Power Producers (IPPs), and asset owners alike. Yet, critical barriers remain: lengthy grid connection queues, evolving grid service requirements (Grid-Forming, fault ride-through), fragmented regulatory frameworks across borders, and the urgent need to monetize flexibility across multiple revenue streams.

Utility Week Live returned to the NEC, Birmingham (halls 17/18) with its biggest-ever content programme across seven stages, featuring more than 250 expert speakers. Over two days, the exhibition brought together 4,000+ energy and water professionals for cross-sector collaboration and award-winning content. The sector’s top leaders, including Zoë Yujnovich, Chief Executive of National Grid; Tim Jarvis, Interim Chief Executive, Ofgem; James Earl, Chief Executive of Future Energy Networks; Mark Thurston, Chief Executive of Anglian Water; Jodie Giles, Programme Director - Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund Innovate UK and Heidi Mottram, Chief Executive of Northumbrian Water, tackled the industry’s biggest challenges. It was the only place where this line-up of utility C-suite executives and senior leaders were under one roof.

The OFF-GRID Expo + Conference (OEC for short) at Messe Augsburg, Germany, is the hotspot for the international decentralized energy supply industry and practical B2B networking platform - the unique one in Europe. All participants benefit from the combination of the high-ranked conference and exhibition taking place every 2 years. All know-how transfer at the OEC directly contributes to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like SDG 6 – access to clean drinking water, 7 – affordable and clean energy, 8 – economic growth, 12 – sustainable consumption

Waterways Management & Floodex now runs  alongside the National Civils Show, opening the event up to whole new audience of thousands of interested civil engineers, contractors, developers and planners, involved in construction, utilities, highways, railway and coastal defence professionals. There will be no walls between the events, so that interested visitors can cross between events unimpeded.

At Enlit we are on a journey to Connect industries, Inspire action and help Europe Evolve into one decarbonised and digitalised energy system for the energy transition, across borders and across sectors. Along this journey, we have the privilege to meet extraordinary people making their mark on the energy transition, while pursuing the common purpose that connects us: to deliver clean, affordable and reliable energy for all. Our next stop to Connect, Inspire and Evolve with you will be in Vienna, 10-12 November 2026. In-person. Because nothing beats meeting face-to-face.

WWT’s Drinking Water Quality Europe Conference returns to Amsterdam in November, uniting water sector leaders from across Europe to showcase the very best of water quality on the continent. Partner to connect with 200+ drinking water experts who will be sharing the latest thinking on PFAS, the EU Drinking Water Directive, treatment innovation, catchment management and source water quality, long-term water supply, network optimisation and more.

Smart Energy is the must-attend energy event for everyone passionate about transforming the way we distribute, manage and consume energy. Hear from the most forward-thinking innovators building a more efficient and effective energy sector.

Join us at the inaugural EAC 2026 and explore the latest advancements in ammonia production, storage, and utilisation. As the world transitions towards a more sustainable future, ammonia is emerging as a versatile energy carrier with immense potential. Ammonia has manifold applications. It is a component of cooling agent in air conditioning units, preserving agent in the food industry, used as fertiliser and used as fuel for engines and motors in the automotive and ship industry. Blue ammonia is produced using fossil fuel like methane with additional CCS technologies for treating the off-gas from the steam-reforming to become fully carbon neutral. Green Ammonia is produced through electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen without generating carbon dioxide.

EAC Program Committee and the Organizing Team, the conference has been postponed to allow further technological developments and market adoption within the ammonia sector to mature. As ammonia continues to gain importance as a key energy carrier in the global energy transition, this step will enable us to deliver an even stronger and more impactful event for participants, partners, and speakers alike.
