6th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition
bcc Berlin Congress Center
November 28-30, 2011

Because of the huge success EUROSOLAR and the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE) have continued the IRES series in 2011 in cooperation with EnergyAgency.NRW.

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 2010 attracted attendance from 41 countries with 600 attendees. Also this year, around 600 attendees from Germany, Europe and abroad took part in the event.

IRES 2012 will take place in Berlin at the Berlin Congress Center bcc, November 12-14, 2012. Further information is available here.
