About Eletrotec+EM‑Power South America
What to Expect
Eletrotec+EM‑Power South America 2026 showcases the full spectrum of electrical infrastructure and energy management technologies for utilities, buildings, industry and smart grids. As part of The smarter E South America innovation hub, it runs in parallel with Intersolar South America and ees South America, giving visitors access to a broad ecosystem covering generation, storage, distribution and intelligent use of energy on one exhibition platform. On the show floor, attendees can expect solutions for medium- and low‑voltage distribution, switchgear, power quality, protection and control, cabling, digital substations and monitoring systems. A strong focus is placed on software and services for energy management systems (EMS), building and industrial energy optimization, smart metering, demand response, microgrids and smart grid integration. Exhibitors typically include component manufacturers, system integrators, automation and control vendors, IT/OT solution providers, and service companies specialized in planning, installation and operation of efficient electrical systems. The event also features an associated conference and congress program at Expo Center Norte, running alongside the exhibition dates. Delegates can join sessions on regulatory frameworks, grid modernization, digitalization of power systems, sector coupling, decarbonization in buildings and industry, and best‑practice case studies from across Latin America. This combination of trade show and curated content offers both a technology showcase and a learning platform. As part of The smarter E South America, visitors benefit from cross‑event networking with solar, storage, e‑mobility and broader clean‑energy stakeholders, as well as joint registration and shared exhibition areas. For 2026 the organizers expect more than 600 exhibitors and over 55,000 visitors in total across the combined events, resulting in high‑density business matchmaking and opportunities to build partnerships throughout the regional power and energy value chain.
Who Should Attend
Eletrotec+EM‑Power South America is designed for professionals responsible for planning, operating or modernizing electrical and energy systems across utilities, buildings and industry. Core visitor groups include: - Electrical engineers and grid operators who design, operate and maintain transmission and distribution networks, substations and protection systems, and who are evaluating new technologies for grid automation, digitalization and resilience. - Energy and facility managers in commercial buildings, industrial plants, logistics centers, data centers and campuses looking to reduce energy costs, improve power quality, integrate distributed generation and storage, and deploy advanced energy management systems. - Industrial and building-technology professionals, including OEMs, plant engineers, ESCOs and building services providers interested in smart load management, electrification of processes, and integration of HVAC, lighting and automation into holistic energy concepts. - Project developers, EPCs and system integrators working on microgrids, smart grids, distributed energy resources, and large‑scale electrical infrastructure projects who seek new components, partners and turnkey solutions. - Technology manufacturers and solution vendors in switchgear, measurement, monitoring, control, communication and EMS platforms who want to benchmark competitors, understand customer needs and expand sales networks in Latin America. - Regulators, policymakers, utilities and municipal decision‑makers exploring regulatory trends, incentive schemes and practical approaches to grid modernization, electrification and decarbonization. Because Eletrotec+EM‑Power South America is embedded in The smarter E South America ecosystem, it is particularly relevant for stakeholders who need to bridge solar, storage, e‑mobility and traditional power infrastructure, and for international companies seeking a dedicated entry point into the Latin American market for smart energy solutions.
Why It Matters
Eletrotec+EM‑Power South America plays a strategic role in modernizing Latin America’s electrical infrastructure and accelerating the energy transition. As variable renewable generation grows rapidly across the region, utilities, industries and cities must upgrade how electricity is distributed, controlled and consumed; this event concentrates the technologies and expertise needed to make that shift practical and reliable. The exhibition’s focus on efficient power distribution, digitalization and energy management addresses key challenges such as grid stability, peak‑load reduction, integration of distributed resources, and improving power quality in demanding industrial and urban environments. Solutions presented on site – from advanced switchgear and protection systems to EMS platforms, smart meters, microgrid controllers and demand‑response tools – enable operators to use existing infrastructure more intelligently and defer or optimize costly grid reinforcements. For building and industrial stakeholders, the show highlights how data‑driven energy management can cut operating costs and emissions while maintaining reliability and process quality. By bringing together component suppliers, software providers, integrators and service companies, Eletrotec+EM‑Power South America acts as a neutral marketplace where decision‑makers can compare approaches, evaluate total cost of ownership and identify partners capable of delivering turnkey solutions. The co‑location within The smarter E South America is significant: it connects electrical infrastructure and energy management directly with solar, storage and related clean‑energy technologies. This integrated platform reflects how projects are now conceived in practice – as combined systems rather than isolated technologies – and supports cross‑sector business models such as behind‑the‑meter storage, prosumer concepts, e‑mobility charging, and sector coupling between electricity, heat and mobility. For international firms, Eletrotec+EM‑Power South America provides an efficient entry point into one of the fastest‑growing energy markets globally, while local companies gain visibility, technology transfer and export opportunities. For policymakers and regulators, the associated conference offers a venue to test ideas with practitioners and understand the technical implications of new policies. Collectively, this makes the event a key reference point for anyone shaping the future of power and energy management in Brazil and across Latin America.
