Energy Technology Live 2026: Driving the Future of Clean, Connected Energy

11–12 March 2026 — NEC Birmingham, Hall 9

Energy Technology Live returns to the NEC this March, bringing together the UK’s most forward-thinking innovators, engineers, and energy leaders. As the combined home of The Distributed Energy Show and The Energy Storage Show, it has become one of the most influential events for organisations shaping the future of renewable power, decentralised systems, and industrial decarbonisation.

A Showcase of the Technologies Powering Net Zero

The event highlights the solutions transforming how energy is generated, stored, and managed, including:

• Distributed and decentralised energy systems
• Grid-scale renewables
• Battery and long-duration energy storage
• Hydrogen and alternative fuels
• AI-driven optimisation and automation
• Smart infrastructure and digital energy platforms

With the UK accelerating its net-zero strategy, the need for flexible, resilient, and data-driven energy systems has never been greater.

Why IoT Connectivity Is Critical for This Sector

Behind every modern energy system sits a layer of IoT connectivity that enables real-time monitoring, automation, and optimisation. Reliable multi-network connectivity is essential for:

• Remote asset monitoring across distributed sites
• Predictive maintenance for energy storage systems
• Smart metering and usage analytics
• Grid balancing and demand-side response
• Secure data transmission from edge devices
• Managing fleets of sensors, batteries, and renewable assets

Without robust IoT infrastructure, energy systems cannot operate efficiently, safely, or at scale. Connectivity is the backbone that turns hardware into intelligent, responsive, and revenue-generating assets.

Meet M2M Data Connect at Energy Technology Live

M2M Data Connect will be at the NEC throughout the event, meeting organisations that want to strengthen their energy strategies with secure, scalable IoT connectivity.

We’ll be discussing:

• Multi-network IoT SIMs and eSIMs for distributed energy assets
• Edge-ready routers for industrial and remote environments
• Real-time monitoring and device management
• Connectivity solutions for storage, renewables, and smart infrastructure
• How to scale deployments across the UK and globally

Whether you’re deploying energy storage systems, managing distributed assets, or building next-generation energy platforms, our connectivity solutions are designed to help you operate smarter and grow faster.
