At CWIEME Berlin, sustainability is central to discussions as industries focus on decarbonization and energy efficiency. Bringing together engineers, manufacturers, and experts, the event explores how technologies like high-efficiency transformers, electric motors, and power components are evolving to meet sustainability goals. Through collaboration, CWIEME Berlin highlights the electrical sector's role in renewable energy integration and addressing global challenges for a greener future.
The demand for transformers and electric motors is skyrocketing, driven by electrification and decarbonisation efforts worldwide. At CWIEME Berlin, attendees can explore how the electrical industry is responding to the increasing need for efficient power systems that integrate renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
Exhibitors will showcase transformers that help manage the complexities of renewable energy integration by ensuring grid stability and energy efficiency. This section also highlights the role of engine power components such as inverters and controllers in optimizing energy conversion and distribution, ultimately reducing the carbon footprint of energy systems.
At CWIEME Berlin, sustainable manufacturing practices are front and center. Manufacturers are focusing on reducing waste, improving energy efficiency, and utilizing sustainable insulation materials to decrease the environmental impact of products like transformers and motors.
In addition, the event highlights the decarbonisation of the transformer supply chain—from sourcing ethically sourced materials to implementing energy-efficient production processes. This holistic approach helps the industry meet decarbonization goals and aligns with the Fit for 55 legislative package’s stringent requirements.
Electric motors are central to achieving energy efficiency in modern industries, and CWIEME Berlin features innovations that contribute to sustainability by reducing energy losses and improving overall system performance. Manufacturers are introducing high-efficiency motors that integrate advanced sustainable insulation materials and reduce dependence on rare-earth materials, which directly supports decarbonisation goals.
Additionally, innovations in engine power components—such as inverters, converters, and controllers—are showcased, with a focus on how these technologies support renewable energy integration and lower the carbon footprint of electrical systems.
As the EU moves toward carbon neutrality by 2050, regulations like the Fit for 55 legislative package are driving innovation across the electrical sector. CWIEME Berlin explores how manufacturers and engineers are responding to this challenge by designing products that meet these ambitious sustainability standards.
The Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Directive (Afid) is another key focus, as it aims to expand infrastructure for alternative fuels, including electric vehicles (EVs). At CWIEME Berlin, industry leaders will discuss how engineers and manufacturers are working to support the growing demand for EVs through the development of efficient power components and charging solutions.
Sustainability in electrical engineering is vital as we transition to a greener energy future. At CWIEME Berlin, we focus on how innovations in transformers, motors, and power components are driving renewable energy integration and reducing carbon footprints. With regulations like Fit for 55, the industry must adopt sustainable practices, making this theme essential for meeting global energy and environmental goals.

Driven by the green energy transition, the demand for transformers is growing rapidly. Inside of a transformer, there is an extensive amount of paper and board which are made from pulp. To make sustainable transformers, we need low carbon pulp from sustainably managed forests.
This presentation will explore the collaborative efforts within the value chain to achieve decarbonisation, emphasising the importance of joint initiatives and partnerships.
Key stakeholders, including producers of CO2-reduced steel, transformer manufacturers, and grid operators, are pivotal in meeting national and European climate goals. On a collective aim to support the establishment of a green lead market for energy grids and develop cost-efficient implementation strategies.
On this session we will discuss the concept of green lead markets for CO2-reduced steel, driven by market participants aiming to establish climate-friendly basic materials markets.
Franziska Giffey, Mayor of Berlin and Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy, and Public Enterprises, demonstrated her commitment to enhancing Berlin's industrial landscape during her visit to the CWIEME exhibition. Her participation underscores the city's dedication to fostering innovation and strengthening its position as a leading European industrial hub.
In this keynote, Franziska Giffey highlights Berlin’s role as a leading industrial hub in Europe, driving transformation through digitalisation, sustainability, and diversity. She outlines the city's strategic initiatives to support a greener, smarter, and more inclusive industrial economy, reinforcing Berlin’s position at the forefront of the global shift toward a circular, tech-enabled future.
Transformer fires remain one of the most under-discussed yet severe risks in electrical infrastructure. This presentation confronts the frequency, impact, and data gaps surrounding these incidents, urging industry stakeholders to prioritise fire safety. Solutions such as the use of FR3™ fluid will be examined as critical steps toward mitigating fire-related risks and enhancing resilience.

This presentation explores the latest advancements in electrical insulation materials with a focus on reducing environmental impact. It highlights developments in epoxy resin technology, liquid insulation solutions for motors and transformers, and materials tailored for resin-rich applications. The session emphasises sustainability as a key driver in shaping the future of the electrical industry.
After the success of the 2024 panel, CWIEME is proud to continue to be at the forefront of innovation, setting the tone for critical discussions on sustainability.
This panel will delve deeper into the green transformation in the recycled copper, exploring how these changes are shaping the future of the transformer supply chain. With perspectives from both OEMs and utilities, the session will highlight strategies for achieving climate neutrality and fostering greener practices throughout the sector.
Copper is a strategic raw material for the energy transition. This session will answer some key questions, that are crucial for the sector:
How secure is the supply of copper in Europe? Can recycled copper be used in motors and transformers? Why is high recycled content not a silver bullet for procurement managers? What are the most realistic sustainability requirements in tenders? What are the levers for the decarbonisation of copper supplies?
The presentation will focus on copper's role as a strategic raw material for the energy transition, particularly in transformers and motors:
