Messe / March 25, 2025 - March 27, 2025
Volta-X Energy Systems Expo 2025
Fraunhofer-Allianz Energie
Volta-X Is the New International Energy Platform for Products, Services and Solutions
From March 25 to 27, a total of 485 exhibiting companies presented their innovations for the future of energy at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center in conjunction with eltefa. Around 26,000 visitors to the two trade fairs took the opportunity to find out about the latest technologies, solutions and practical examples of the energy transition.
Volta-X 2025 focused on technological solutions for energy storage, sector coupling and smart grids. The special area of pumped storage also brought established technologies back into focus. In the E&M Forum, experts highlighted practical approaches for climate-neutral production, smart grid integration and economically scalable storage solutions on all three days of the trade fair.
Industry Growth Underpins Relevance
The latest figures from the German Energy Storage Systems Association (BVES), which were presented at the trade fair, underline the industry's strong potential: while the market in the household segment consolidated after exceptional boom years, the industrial and commercial sectors recorded growth of 23% and system infrastructure increased by 14%. The total turnover of the German energy storage industry amounted to 12.5 billion euros in 2024. “The industrial turnaround is noticeably picking up speed - in particular, the combination of self-generation and storage is becoming increasingly attractive for companies,” says Urban Windelen, BVES Federal Managing Director.
