SYDNEY, March 14 (Xinhua) -- The Shanghai New Energy Industry Association (SNEIA) will, starting from 2025, work with Australia's Smart Energy Council to co-organize the Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition, a grand event held annually in Australia focusing on photovoltaics, energy storage and smart energy.
Mi Yue, executive chairperson of the SNEIA, announced the partnership on March 7 when addressing at the 2024 Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition kicking off in Sydney, Australia on March 6.
Mi also invited Australian companies and friends from related industries to join the 17th International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition (SNEC PV+) and the energy storage and hydrogen show SNEC ES+ & SNEC H2+ to be held respectively in June and September this year in Shanghai.
"We believe the energy storage and hydrogen industries have a great future, and we do hope to promote the development of the two industries through our joint efforts," she said.
John Grimes, chief executive of Australia's Smart Energy Council, said that the SNEC PV+ event attracts over 400,000 delegates each year, an equivalent to the total population in Canberra, and that is unbelievable.
By working with SNEIA, the two sides will make the Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition the biggest industry event in Australia, he added.
The 2024 Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition ended on March 7, attracting more than 100 exhibitors, including dozens of Chinese renewable energy companies such as AlphaESS, BYD, GoodWe and JinKo Solar, and more than 10,000 delegates. Several topics including Australia's energy transition, grid transition, and renewable manufacturing opportunities were discussed at the event.
The Smart Energy Council is the independent body for the Australian smart energy industry. According to its website, smart energy is zero-emission energy from the sun, wind, oceans, waste, the intersection of information technology and energy allowing people to take control of when and how they produce and consume energy, and the cheapest form of energy.
