EnergyDecentral is the leading trade fair for decentralised energy supply: biogas plants, combined heat and power units, photovoltaics, storage and heat networks for agriculture, municipalities and business. We photograph and film your stand so plant technology becomes understandable and your conversations with operators and planners are kept as material for the coming year.

A biogas plant or a heat network does not fit on a trade fair stand. What EnergyDecentral exhibitors show are gensets, controls, agitators, inverters, storage racks and models — technical objects that look alike to outsiders. We photograph them so the difference becomes visible: directed light on pipework, connections and displays, detail shots of assemblies, and clean overviews that explain how the stand is laid out.
With photovoltaics and storage the surface comes into play: glass, black modules, painted enclosures. These surfaces mirror the hall lighting and your neighbour's stand lights. With a polarising filter and careful positioning you get pictures in which module and enclosure read as a product rather than as a mirror.
The decision for a plant takes years, not a show day. What EnergyDecentral produces is contacts — and pictures of those conversations are the material your sales team sends out afterwards. We photograph consultations at the model and at the control panel without flash and without interruption, so the situation stays real.
For your website and LinkedIn channel we film short statements: your project manager explains a plant in 40 seconds, an operator talks about yields and operation. We record with radio mics and deliver the clips in vertical format with subtitles, in German or English.
EnergyDecentral shares grounds and visitors with EuroTier. Many farmers come on Tuesday and Wednesday and visit both shows; we recommend these days for a four-hour package, starting in the hour before opening for stand shots without visitors. Thursday and Friday are quieter and suit team and product shots that need time.
The show takes place every two years. If you take home clean material of equipment, team and conversations in 2026, you have pictures for proposals, trade articles and regional events until 2028.
CHP units, inverters and control panels with directed light — connections and displays legible.
Module glass, black cells and painted enclosures without reflections — polariser and careful positioning.
Plant models and schematics photographed so the process is explained.
Architecture and lighting before the doors open, with no visitors in frame.
Consultations at the model with farmers, municipalities and planners — no flash, no interruption.
Statements from project managers and operators with radio mics, vertical with subtitles.
A post with your stand while the show is still running gets seen and shared. That is why every package includes finished photos and video within 24 hours after the event ends — first images usually the same day. Two revision rounds included.
A sample from our production: the event recap for your website and LinkedIn — below it, native 9:16 footage for Reels, Shorts and Stories, shot in parallel with the main coverage.

Yes. Models, schematics and control panels explain your plant better than any photo of a real plant in the field, provided they are lit cleanly and shown with your experts in conversation. This is exactly the material most plant builders lack.
Tuesday or Wednesday, when most farmers visit both shows. For product shots that need time, Thursday and Friday are quieter.
Yes. Both shows run at the same time on the Deutsche Messe grounds. Two stands are covered on the same day without surcharge.
Yes. Interviews, briefing and the entire engagement run in English — a large share of our trade fair clients come from outside Germany. Invoices with VAT ID for EU companies, no German VAT for companies outside the EU.
