International Renewable Energy Storage and Systems Conference (IRES 2022)
Storage – Heart of the Energy Transition
Energy storage systems are the key to the successful energy transition to full and secure renewable energy supply and are more relevant today than ever before. They address numerous challenges of the energy transition at once: stabilise the grids, support the phase-out of fossil and nuclear power plants, compensate for fluctuations in renewable energy generation – and make regionally generated renewable electricity available locally and securely. For over 15 years now, EUROSOLAR has dedicated the annual IRES Conference to this important topic. The conference, organised in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf since 2015, will focus on the current state of research and the social, political and legal framework conditions of energy storage.
The event takes place at Messe Düsseldorf from 20 to 22 September 2022, within its exhibition on decarbonised industries, the decarbXpo. (Programme, time and venue changes are at the discretion of the organisers and may be made at short notice, if permitted by the event management.)

Dear friends of EUROSOLAR,
for more than 30 years, EUROSOLAR has been paving the way to the solar age and sees itself as an independent voice to ensure that the transition to renewable energies succeeds in a citizen-oriented and decentralized manner. We have always acted independently of parties, companies and institutions. As a non-profit association, we live from donations and memberships. Only in this way can we continue to provide important impulses and maintain our events such as the European Solar Prize and our conferences. A membership is already possible from 65€ per year (and only 25€ for persons up to 27 years). Especially today, the voice of EUROSOLAR is more important than ever. We are grateful for your support!
Regenerative Earth Decade: 100% Renewables are only the beginning
EUROSOLAR has set up a 10-point plan on how the Renewable Decade with 100% renewable energies can succeed. In this plan, EUROSOLAR calls for a tightening of the European Green Deal, climate neutrality towards 100% renewables, carbon sequestration agriculture, afforestation with drought-resistant forests and the rededication of the European circular economy directives to economy-wide carbon sequestration regulations. The goal must be a climate-positive, emissions-negative Europe by 2030.
