1. Exhibition Scale Upgrade: Gathering 2,000 Global Brands in 86,000 sqm
As one of China's most influential power industry exhibitions, the China International Power Equipment and Technology Exhibition (EP Shanghai) has become an important window for industry observation and technological innovation since its establishment in 1986.
The 32nd China International Power Equipment and Technology Exhibition (EP Shanghai 2025) and Shanghai International Energy Storage Technology Application Exhibition (ES Shanghai 2025), jointly organized by China Electricity Council and State Grid Corporation of China, and organized by Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., will be grandly held from November 18-20, 2025 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre (Halls N1-N5, E7, W5).
According to the latest information released by the organizers, EP Shanghai 2025 will expand to 86,000 square meters and is expected to attract 2,000 exhibitors and brands from around the world.

2. Five Professional Theme Zones Showcasing Industry Chain Innovation
The exhibition will feature five professional theme zones covering:
Transmission & Distribution and Smart Grid — showcasing end-to-end intelligent solutions from power generation to users;
Energy Digitalization and Intelligent Manufacturing — focusing on data-driven energy scheduling and forecasting technologies;
Energy Storage and New Energy Systems — comprehensive display from electrochemical energy storage to distributed microgrid applications;
Power Automation and Industrial Control — cutting-edge achievements in intelligent sensing and adaptive control technologies;
Power Engineering and Safety Protection — comprehensive power system security solutions.
As a leading industry display platform, this exhibition will comprehensively present the latest equipment, system solutions and technology trends under energy structure transformation, promoting collaborative innovation and international exchange in the power industry chain.
3. Trend Focus: Energy Storage, Digitalization and Smart Grid as Industry Themes
Under the background of "dual carbon goals" and energy digital transformation, EP Shanghai 2025 will focus on three core directions:
Systematic Implementation of Energy Storage Technology: Energy storage has become a key link in flexible power system scheduling. From electrochemical energy storage and compressed air energy storage to distributed microgrid applications, exhibitors will showcase cutting-edge energy storage solutions and project cases.
Intelligent Upgrade of Energy Digitalization: Data-driven energy scheduling and forecasting technologies are reshaping the entire chain of power generation, transmission, distribution and consumption. The exhibition will showcase digital twins, AI energy management systems, edge computing and IoT applications in the power sector.
Integrated Innovation of Smart Grid and Automation Control: Intelligent sensing and adaptive control technologies are accelerating the safe, reliable and efficient operation of power systems. The EP exhibition concurrent forum will discuss "Smart Grid and Future Energy Ecosystem", inviting industry experts and scholars for in-depth dialogue.
4. Internationalization and Content Integration: From "Exhibition" to "Exhibition + Forum + Trade" Platform
Compared with previous editions, EP Shanghai 2025 has achieved significant improvement in internationalization and content integration. According to the official website and industry media reports (source: epchinashow.com), this exhibition is expected to attract well-known domestic and international brands including ABB, Schneider, Chint, NARI Group, Pinggao Electric, BYD Energy Storage, TBEA, and the "International Pavilion" will be further expanded.
Meanwhile, the exhibition will host more than 30 high-level forums and special conferences on topics such as energy digitalization, intelligent manufacturing, energy storage safety, and green electricity market mechanisms, aiming to create a full-ecosystem exchange platform connecting "technology, industry and capital".
5. StarRise Perspective | The Power of Design and Technology Creating Smart Energy Experiences
As a company deeply engaged in the exhibition and technology sectors, we believe that the significance of EP Shanghai 2025 lies not only in showcasing new technologies in the power industry, but also in presenting a collective vision of the intelligent energy era.
From a design and communication perspective, we see several trends worth noting:
Digital Experientialization of Booth Design: Traditional static displays are gradually giving way to immersive interaction and data visualization. Transforming complex technologies into "experiences" through multi-screen linkage, AR simulation, and touch interaction is key competitiveness for large-scale industrial booths.
Modular and Sustainable Exhibition Systems: In large industrial exhibitions like power equipment shows, modular structures and recyclable materials have become international mainstream. They reduce costs while embodying green and low-carbon concepts. We will continue to explore this direction in booth design, providing clients with solutions that combine aesthetics and functionality.
Integration Innovation of Content and Space: Exhibitions are no longer just product displays but spaces for brand narratives. In the future, we will collaborate with clients to integrate technical interpretation, industry education, and brand stories into booths, making technology more humane and brands more thoughtful.
The power industry is experiencing unprecedented technological leaps and market reshaping. Whether in digital energy, energy storage applications, or intelligent manufacturing, exhibitions are not only observation windows but also starting points for cooperation. We believe that through continuous technical exchange, visual innovation, and service optimization, the exhibition industry and power industry will jointly promote high-quality development of China's intelligent energy ecosystem.
