ENERGETICS Lublin 2026: who exhibits, who visits and how a foreign supplier gets meetings
ENERGETICS is the power engineering trade fair of Targi Lublin. The 17th edition runs on 17-19 November 2026 at the Targi Lublin exhibition centre, and entry for trade visitors is free after registration. Its main partner is PGE Dystrybucja, one of Poland’s largest distribution system operators, which meets potential contractors at its stand every day of the fair. It is worth the trip if you sell distribution grid equipment, tools, protection or storage and want to meet DSO engineers, their contractors and Polish distributors.

The event
What is ENERGETICS?
A three-day trade fair for the power sector in eastern Poland, organised every November by Targi Lublin. Manufacturers and distributors show equipment, apparatus and technology for power engineering, and the fair runs conferences and training alongside the exhibition. The 2024 edition reported over 5,000 visitors and nearly 130 exhibitors.
The organiser names its visitors: people from power utilities, design offices, the energy departments of industrial plants, electricians and installers. In practice the fair is built around the distribution grid. Its main partner, PGE Dystrybucja, runs two stands in hall C, and the other Polish DSOs take part in the programme.
Lublin itself matters. The region has many grid modernisation and renewable projects, and several large energy companies have offices there.
Programme 2026
What happens on each day?
The programme below is the organiser’s outline as of 4 November 2026. It is updated as the fair approaches, and the sessions are in Polish.
| Day | Main sessions | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| 17 November | Opening at 10:00. Energy Distributors Forum: a PTPiREE panel on security and cybersecurity with PSE, PGE Dystrybucja, TAURON Dystrybucja and Energa-Operator, and an ARE panel on disinformation in energy. Scientific seminar of Lublin University of Technology and SEP | DSO and TSO managers, security and IT, engineers |
| 18 November | Product training by exhibitors for distribution system operators. Afternoon conference on energy storage in the power sector and industry, with the Polish Energy Storage Association (PSME) | DSO technical teams, storage integrators, industrial energy managers |
| Every day | “PGE Dystrybucja Zone for Contractors” at stand 87 and a live demonstration zone at stand 114, both in hall C | Contractors and suppliers of PGE Dystrybucja |
The contractor zone is the part most foreign suppliers miss. Each day, specialists from different PGE Dystrybucja branches are at the stand: Lublin, Skarżysko-Kamienna and Białystok on 17 November, Łódź and Warsaw on 18 November, Zamość and Rzeszów on 19 November. Meetings can be booked in advance through the company’s communications team, as the programme explains.
Exhibitors
Who exhibits at ENERGETICS?
Mostly Polish manufacturers and distributors of power engineering equipment. The 2026 online list includes companies such as Apator, Elektrometal Energetyka, EKTO, APS Energia, 3M Poland and Dacpol, and a few foreign exhibitors, such as Dipl.-Ing. H. Horstmann GmbH from Germany and CWS s.r.o.
For a foreign supplier this means two things. The floor shows you who you compete with for the DSOs’ business, which products they are used to, and which distributors could carry your products. And few foreign competitors are there to take that attention.
Fit
Is it worth it for your company?
Yes, if your buyer is a distribution system operator, its contractors or the industrial plants that run their own MV networks. Less so, if you sell to offshore developers or utility-scale project owners.
| Go if you sell | Choose another event if you sell |
|---|---|
| MV and HV switchgear, disconnectors, transformers, cable accessories | Offshore wind components and services: go to Offshore Wind Poland |
| Protection, automation, metering, grid monitoring and storage for the grid and industry | PV modules and inverters for installers: ENEX in Kielce fits better |
| Tools and equipment for live-line work and grid maintenance | Large BESS projects: Battery Forum Poland fits better |
Visit before you exhibit. Entry is free, and one visit tells you more about the audience than any brochure. Exhibit once you have a Polish partner or someone who can follow up in Polish.
Preparation
How do you get meetings there?
- 01
Register for the free ticket
Online registration takes a few minutes and saves the PLN 50 entry fee.
- 02
Book a slot at the PGE Dystrybucja contractor zone
Choose the day with the branches that cover your region, and ask in advance, as the organiser suggests.
- 03
Go through the exhibitor list
Mark the distributors that could carry your products and the manufacturers you compete with. Visit both: the first as partners, the second to learn.
- 04
Bring someone who speaks Polish
The sessions are in Polish, and so are most conversations on the floor. A one-page summary in Polish of what you supply and where you have delivered it helps on every stand.
- 05
Come on day one or two, follow up within 72 hours
The last day closes at 15:00. Send each priority contact the next step you agreed, as described in our trade show follow-up plan.
No Polish speaker on your team?
We advise you on how to take part, contact distributors and buyers in Polish on your behalf and book the meetings.
Plan the week
What else is on the same week?
Offshore Wind Poland, PSEW’s offshore wind conference, runs in Warsaw on 17-18 November 2026. Lublin is around two hours from Warsaw by train, so both fit into one trip.
All energy events for the next twelve months are in our calendar of energy trade fairs in Poland. For the bigger picture on grid demand, see offshore wind, grids and energy storage in Poland.
