E-world Congress 2012 "E-Energy: Smart Grids made in Germany"
E-World, Europe’s leading energy and water management industry fair, took place in Essen (Germany) for the 12th time. It serves as a platform for business, networking and matchmaking activities between electricity suppliers, municipal utilities, industrial users, municipalities and service suppliers.
