One of Europe’s largest and most international exhibitions for batteries and energy storage systems, ees Europe, is joining Intersolar Mexico in 2024 as a special exhibition within an exhibition. The organisers said it will highlight the role of energy storage in strengthening Mexico’s grid system.
The ees event will take place alongside Intersolar Mexico from 3–5 September at Centro Citibanamex, Mexico City. Organisers are expecting 13,000 visitors and 450 exhibitors, making it one of the largest gatherings of industry professionals in Mexico after the presidential election in June.
Dr. Florian Wessendorf, managing director, Solar Promotion International, said: “By integrating the ees Mexico special exhibition, we elevate the impact of energy storage solutions, emphasising their pivotal role in fortifying Mexico’s grid system and contributing to the nation’s emergence as a regional hub for renewable energy.”
Utility-scale energy storage is limited in Mexico, though insiders see potential as a result of the 10.5MW/7.0MWh Aura Solar III solar plant in La Paz. It is claimed to be the first large-scale solar power project in Latin America combined with a lithium-ion battery system.
The Mexican national electric system development programme, Prodesen, anticipates the installation of some 4.5GW of energy storage systems from 2022 to 2036.
Intersolar Mexico focuses on photovoltaics, solar heating and cooling technologies, as well as energy storage in Mexico.
