ICREPQ 2026

ICREPQ 2026: Pioneering Renewable Energy and Power Quality in Santander

Scheduled for June 10–12, 2026, the International Conference on Renewable Energy Power Quality (ICREPQ) will convene in the vibrant coastal city of Santander, Spain. As a premier global gathering, ICREPQ 2026 will unite researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry leaders to address the critical intersection of renewable energy integration, power quality, and sustainable grid modernization.

Themes and Scope
ICREPQ 2026 will focus on cutting-edge advancements and challenges in:
- Renewable Energy Systems: Solar, wind, hydro, and emerging technologies (e.g., wave and geothermal energy).
- Power Quality (PQ): Mitigation of harmonics, voltage fluctuations, and grid instability caused by intermittent renewables.
- Smart Grids & Digitalization: AI-driven grid management, IoT sensors, and real-time PQ monitoring.
- Energy Storage & Grid Resilience: Battery systems, hydrogen storage, and microgrid solutions.
- Policy & Sustainability: EU Green Deal compliance, carbon neutrality targets, and circular economy practices.

The conference will feature plenary keynotes by industry pioneers, peer-reviewed technical sessions, interactive workshops, and poster exhibitions, fostering collaboration between academia and industry.

Why Santander?
Santander, a hub for marine and renewable energy research, offers a picturesque backdrop for innovation. Host to the University of Cantabria (a leader in energy studies) and the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BIMEP), the city provides state-of-the-art facilities and access to pilot projects like offshore wind farms. Attendees will experience Spain’s commitment to sustainability, with Santander’s own smart city initiatives serving as a living laboratory for urban energy solutions.

Global Significance
ICREPQ 2026 aligns with the EU’s 2030 Climate Target (55% emission reduction) and 2050 net-zero goals. By 2026, Europe aims to deploy 420 GW of wind and 200 GW of solar capacity—making PQ and grid stability paramount. The conference will accelerate solutions to these challenges, ensuring reliable, high-quality energy from renewables.

Networking and Impact
Attendees can expect 300+ presentations, networking with 500+ international experts, and exposure to breakthrough technologies. Special sessions will include:
- Early-Career Researchers: Mentorship and student paper competitions.
- Industry-Academia Forums: Partnerships with leaders like Iberdrola, Siemens, and Schneider Electric.
- Exhibition Showcases: Live demos of PQ analyzers, inverters, and grid optimization tools.

Join the Movement
ICREPQ 2026 is more than a conference—it’s a catalyst for the energy transition. By uniting global expertise in Santander, it will shape the future of clean, resilient, and efficient power systems. Registration opens in late 2025, with abstract submissions due February 2026.
