The ES Energy Show is an international trade fair for renewable energy, electrical technology, power generation and distribution technology, which takes place annually in Shanghai. Especially in China, the second largest electricity market in the world, the issue of energy is becoming increasingly important. Due to the increasing economic capacity, there is a steadily rising energy consumption. Accordingly, it is important to meet with the latest technologies and developments. In China, the subject of "green power" becomes more and more important,too, because China daily faces high environmental and particulate matter emissions that reduce the quality of urban life enormously. To all these questions and challenges the ES Energy Show provides solutions. International exhibitors show innovative technologies and products relating to the production and use of renewable energy, and provide information on the latest trends and developments in the market. In that case smart grids play an important role, which allow optimization and monitoring of the interconnected components such as power generators, storage, appliances and network resources. Furthermore decentralized power generation and its transmission and distribution are priority themes of the fair,too. The Energy Show will be held in conjunction with the IAS Industrial Automation Show and MWCS Metalworking and CNC Machine Tool Show. Together, the fairs generate a professional audience of more than 120,000 visitors and establish them as an important event in the exhibition landscape of China
