Another year and another fantastic experience for Joulen at Intersolar and The smarter E in Munich.
The timing couldn't have been more relevant. While a heatwave swept much of Europe, GB wholesale power prices reminded us once again why accelerating solar deployment and unlocking greater flexibility across the grid remains so important. As demand rises and generation patterns shift, flexible assets and intelligent optimisation will only become more valuable.
As ever, The Smarter E lived up to its reputation as the industry's leading 4-in-1 European showcase, bringing together solar, battery storage, EV charging and smart energy under one roof. The scale, optimism, and sheer volume of conversations across the halls were as impressive as ever.
One of the strongest themes this year was renewed confidence across the industry. Conversations increasingly centred on sustainable growth, quality and long-term value creation, with a clear sense that the market is maturing and moving into its next phase.
For the Joulen team, the most valuable part of the week was the quality of conversations with partners and both new and existing customers. It was particularly encouraging to meet so many organisations that share our belief that the long-term success of flexibility markets depends on transparency and trust.
And of course, no trip to Intersolar would be complete without enjoying some excellent Bavarian hospitality at the event's gala dinner.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to meet with us. Looking forward to turning those conversations into action over the months ahead.
