Energy conservation, green energy and electric transport.
The city’s brand-new Timiryazev Centre is preparing to host a gathering that could shape the future of energy across Eurasia. From April 7-10, 2026, the 7th International Exhibition and Forum for Energy Saving, Green Energy and Electric Vehicles – RENWEX will transform this modern venue into the epicentre of Russia’s clean energy transition. In a nation historically defined by its hydrocarbon wealth, this event represents something remarkable: a dedicated platform for the technologies that will power a more sustainable tomorrow.
A New Home for a Growing Movement
The 2026 edition of RENWEX arrives with significant changes. Following organisational shifts at Expocentre, the event has found a new home at the Timiryazev Centre (Timiryazev Tsentr) , a state-of-the-art exhibition complex that opened its doors in late 2024. Located just seven minutes on foot from Petrovsko-Razumovskaya metro station, this venue offers modern halls, thoughtful infrastructure, and convenient access for the thousands of professionals expected to attend.
The timing is deliberate. RENWEX 2026 runs concurrently with the Russian Week of High Technologies (RWHT) , a cross-industry platform that brings together multiple exhibitions including SVIAZ (telecommunications and IT), NAVITECH (navigation and telematics), and consumer electronics showcases. This synergy is powerful: the 6,000 professionals visiting RENWEX will be joined by an additional 16,000 attendees from RWHT—representatives from major companies in telecommunications, IT, extractive and manufacturing industries, energy, transport, construction, and trade.
A Platform Backed by National Authority
RENWEX is not merely another trade show. It enjoys the formal patronage of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, with active support from the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. This high-level backing reflects the strategic importance of renewable energy and electric mobility to Russia’s long-term economic planning.
The event’s objectives extend beyond commerce. Organisers aim to accelerate technology transfer and international cooperation in renewable energy, showcase advanced solutions for constructing and operating energy facilities using renewable resources, and attract foreign manufacturers to localise production in Russia. It serves as a bridge between global innovation and Russian implementation.
The Complete Spectrum of Green Technology
One of RENWEX‘s greatest strengths is its comprehensive scope. The exhibition floor presents the full palette of renewable energy and clean technology, organised across multiple sectors.

Enabling Technologies
Beyond generation and mobility, RENWEX showcases grid infrastructure and solutions for integrating renewable sources, energy and resource-saving technologies, industrial energy efficiency, measurement and control systems, automated process control, energy facility safety and environmental protection, and investment, finance and insurance services for the sector.
Market Context: Russia’s Clean Energy Transformation
RENWEX‘s importance is inseparable from the market it serves. Russia is pursuing an ambitious clean energy agenda with tangible targets and incentives.
Renewable Energy Goals
Russia plans to achieve 5 GW of solar capacity by 2030, supported by mechanisms including power purchase agreements, localisation requirements (targeting 70% domestic equipment content), and various subsidies. The Moscow photovoltaic market is projected to grow at approximately 30% annually through 2025, driven by commercial and industrial demand for energy storage to balance grid loads, particularly during winter peak hours.
Electric Vehicle Ambitions
The government targets production of 217,000 electric vehicles annually by 2030, representing 10% of total automobile production. To support this fleet, 72,000 charging stations (including 28,000 fast-charging units) are planned. Incentives for domestic EVs include subsidies of up to 35% (approximately 925,000 rubles) , free parking, and exemption from road tolls.
