Because of its huge success IRES will take place in Berlin again for the fifth time in November this year. In 2006 EUROSOLAR and the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE) started the IRES conference series, intended to contribute to the developments in energy storage and to popularize the resulting applications and solutions. The view in the professional energy storage world is that IRES has meanwhile developed into the central platform for sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas on one of the key issues of future energy supply. IRES 2009 attracted attendance from 22 countries with 400 attendees.
