Enlit Europe 2026 Vienna: Power & Utilities Event Guide & List
By Ilyas Kerbal,
Enlit Europe, formerly European Utility Week and POWERGEN Europe, is Europe’s leading power and utilities event. It rotates between European cities each autumn: Milan in 2024, Bilbao in 2025 and Vienna in 2026. The 2026 edition runs from 10 to 12 November 2026 at VIECON, the Vienna Congress & Convention Center, with around 15,000 attendees and 750+ exhibitors expected. The 2027 host has not been announced.
Utilities, grid operators, technology vendors and policymakers meet on the exhibition floor and in the Summit. For energy-tech companies, it’s a utility-focused buyer audience.
