1 award, 5 categories, 15 winners: Just before the start of The smarter E Europe, the continent’s largest alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry, the winners of this year’s The smarter E AWARD were honored at an official ceremony this evening.

A new era for solar energy is dawning in Eastern Europe: According to the European industry association SolarPower Europe, Poland and Hungary are among the top ten countries in Europe’s solar rankings, and the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Romania reached the one gigawatt mark of annual photovoltaics (PV) deployment in 2023.

The energy transition is in full swing and dynamism continues to rapidly increase.

The energy industry is undergoing a radical transformation. Renewable sources of energy have become increasingly profitable in recent years and are now the most economically viable solution for generating electricity

The EU’s objectives are ambitious: The total solar energy deployment is to reach around 750 gigawatts (GW) by 2030.

Energy suppliers with a comprehensive range of energy efficiency measures will be awarded in the energy efficiency category at the Energiewende Award ceremony.

A new generation of inverters is on the rise: Their functions go far beyond their original task of converting direct current to alternating current. Today, they’re crucial for our renewable 24/7 energy supply.

The smarter E AWARD moves into the next round and has been completely revamped. From December 1, 2023, companies will have the chance to submit their innovations or projects and compete for The smarter E AWARD – for the first time in five categories.
