The Nuremberg Exhibition Centre has reached a milestone while boosting electric mobility and making charging more convenient for its customers. The chair and deputy chair of the NürnbergMesse Supervisory Board were on hand to commission their 100th charging station, completing an infrastructure project to expand EV charging capacities at Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. Albert Füracker, Bavarian minister for finance and regional identity and chair of the NürnbergMesse Group Supervisory Board, together with vice-chair and Nuremberg mayor Marcus König, tested the new charging station along with Peter Ottmann, CEO of NürnbergMesse Group.
Visitors to the exhibition centre currently have access to 200 AC charging points within walking distance of the exhibition halls. In the past year visitors have completed around 6,700 charging processes – with 200 MWh coming from the solar power produced by the company’s own PV system on the roofs of the exhibition halls, the largest PV system on a building in which the Bavarian government has a stake.
“NürnbergMesse is proud to confirm that our visitors are charging their electric vehicles with solar power straight from the Bavarian sun – it’s clean, convenient, and sustainable! This is a region that excels in innovation and is demonstrating how tomorrow’s sustainable mobility can work in practice,” said Albert Füracker.
Marcus König added: “Whether they take the underground train straight to Mitte Entrance or charge their electric car at one of the 200 charging points on the trade fair grounds, NürnbergMesse customers have now been given the green light to embrace resource-saving and convenient travel to our exhibitions and congresses.”
The AC charging points deliver up to 22 kW output and are optimally adapted to the average dwell times of around four hours, allowing visitors to charge their vehicles efficiently and sustainably during their trade fair visit. A dynamic load management system and battery storage ensure that as much solar power as possible comes from the company’s own PV system.
NürnbergMesse’s business activities are aligned with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the aim of achieving a CO2-neutral energy supply by 2028.
