Every year, Europe’s energy ecosystem gathers to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the transition to clean power. This year, Enlit Europe 2025 arrives at a critical moment, when digitalization, grid resilience, and decarbonization have moved from aspirational goals to necessities.
From 18 to 20 November, the Bibao Exhibition Centre becomes the meeting point for over 15,000 professionals shaping how Europe generates, distributes, and consumes energy.
Enlit Europe stands as the continent’s most comprehensive community event for energy transition. With more than 700 exhibitors and representation from over 140 countries, it brings together the full spectrum of stakeholders - utilities, grid operators, technology providers, policymakers, investors, and innovators - to accelerate the shift toward a decarbonized, digitalized, and decentralized energy system.
Dates: 18 - 20 November
Venue: Bilbao Exhibition Center (BEC), Bilbao, Spain
Theme: Connecting industries and inspiring action across Europe’s energy value chain
Each year, Enlit rotates across major European cities, expanding its reach and strengthening connections across the continent as the energy transition accelerates.
This year's edition introduces several updates designed to address the industry's most urgent priorities and create more productive engagement for every attendee:
The exhibition floor is organized around Decentralization (grid balancing, microgrids), Digitalization (AI, cybersecurity, smart metering), and Decarbonization (solar, wind, storage), making it easier to navigate toward relevant innovations.
Over 500 expert speakers across hub sessions and main stage presentations tackle topics from grid resilience and workforce development to policy frameworks and industrial competitiveness.
Dedicated space showcasing European-funded initiatives in smart grids, energy data platforms, and community-led energy projects.
And this year, Enlit Europe is powered by Rozie Synopsis, an award-winning AI experience production platform for events that captures live insights from every session. It provides attendees with real-time takeaways and gives organizers immediate content to fuel year-round engagement. This innovation in AI for event planning helps organizers turn content that would have been lost the moment the event ends into strategic value.
