ESIE 2027 to Launch Industry‑First Dedicated AIDC Energy Storage Segment for Computing‑Electricity
BEIJING, China - September 28, 2026
BEIJING, China – September 22, 2026 — The 15th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE 2027), one of the world’s most influential large‑scale energy‑industry events, will open the industry’s first dedicated exhibition zone for AIDC energy storage and computing - electricity coordination. Taking place March 16 - 19, 2027 at the Capital International Exhibition & Convention Center in Beijing, the show spans over 160,000 m² and gathers more than 1,000 leading exhibitors across the full energy-storage value chain. Hosted by China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA), China Energy Research Society and the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, ESIE 2027 serves as a key global platform for technology innovation, business matching and cross - border industrial collaboration.
Driven by exponential growth in AI compute capacity worldwide, AIDC energy storage has emerged as one of the highest-growth market segments for modern energy storage. Across global markets, AI data-centre operators face shared operational challenges: diverse competing technical pathways, evolving industry standards, uncertain revenue models, and persistent information gaps between battery & system suppliers and hyperscaler / data-centre owners. These market gaps highlight the urgent need for a global, neutral and application-focused industry platform for knowledge exchange and commercial matchmaking.
The newly launched AIDC energy-storage zone at ESIE 2027 showcases complete full‑stack hardware and software solutions purpose-built for AI compute infrastructure. Exhibits cover rack-level high-rate BBU batteries and supercapacitors, room-grade UPS, HVDC and SST equipment, liquid-cooling thermal-management systems, park-scale long-duration energy-storage assets, plus intelligent EMS scheduling platforms built for computing-electricity coordination. Multiple global product debuts will address AIDC’s strict requirements for high-frequency operation, high power density and ultra-reliable power supply, helping bridge the gap between R&D innovation and real-world large-scale deployment.
As a globally-oriented flagship trade show, ESIE 2027 combines high-level industry gatherings, cross-border business cooperation, targeted buyer engagement, authoritative industry insights, cutting-edge product premieres and expert-led think-tank sessions. The exhibition brings together leading enterprises covering battery production, system integration, core components, EPC services and investment. It draws qualified trade visitors from more than 90 countries and regions, including key markets across Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, supported by dedicated international business-matching sessions to accelerate cross-border project cooperation. Delegations of energy-asset owners, AIDC operators and large industrial-park operators will also attend, enabling efficient pairing via online intelligent matching tools alongside on-site face-to-face negotiations to streamline commercial workflows.
High-level stakeholder participation underpins the event’s industry authority. Representatives from major grid operators, power generation groups and benchmark energy-storage companies will take part in strategic industry dialogues. More than 40 themed forums will host over 400 experts and industry leaders, covering policy trends, market-mechanism design, technical-route evaluation and industry-finance collaboration. Over ten academicians will deliver forward-looking analysis on long-duration energy storage, grid-forming technology, short-term high-frequency regulation and hydrogen-energy pathways, supporting industry-wide technology upgrading.
Alongside the new AIDC energy-storage segment, ESIE 2027 features five additional core exhibition zones: advanced energy-storage technologies, all-application system solutions, smart-grid systems, vehicle-energy integration and comprehensive green-energy applications, forming a complete ecosystem for the new-energy sector.
