The 8th International Conference on Energy, Power and Grid (ICEPG 2026)
The 8th International Conference on Energy, Power and Grid (ICEPG 2026) will be grandly held in Guangzhou, China, from 18 September to 20 September 2026. The conference is hosted by the IEEE PES Guangzhou Chapter. Under the theme “Low-carbon, Digital and Intelligent New Power System”, the event will attract leading scholars, industry leaders, and experts from around the world for high-level, forward-looking exchanges and in-depth discussions.
The conference closely addresses emerging trends brought by the global energy transition and explores how frontier technologies of renewable energy, energy storage and smart grids can realize systematic integration and large-scale engineering application, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical research and industrial deployment. It covers three major technical tracks: Energy and Power, Grid System, and Smart Grid System, spanning renewable energy, multi-type energy storage, hydrogen energy, power transmission technology, intelligent power system operation and control, power digital transformation, artificial intelligence applications, microgrid operation, virtual power plants, power grid digital twin technology and other frontier research areas. The discussions focus on advancing power systems toward greater intelligence, resilience, flexibility and low-carbon operation.
Hosting the conference in Guangzhou highlights the vibrancy and attractiveness of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in energy technology innovation. The event will provide new intellectual momentum for the low-carbon transformation of power and energy systems in China and globally. The intensive interaction between academia and industry is expected to generate innovative ideas and accelerate the development of a safe, efficient, and green future energy system.
