As Russia’s energy sector pivots towards industrial sovereignty and decentralized solutions, the HEAT&POWER exhibition in Moscow has emerged as the central meeting point for engineers, procurement specialists, and technology providers.
Scheduled to take place from October 19 to 21, 2026, at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre, the 11th edition of this international exhibition promises to bridge the gap between traditional thermal power generation and the high-tech demands of modern data centers and mining facilities.
The Evolution of an Industry Hub
Initially focused strictly on industrial boilers and heat exchange equipment, HEAT&POWER has dramatically expanded its scope over the last decade. The 2025 edition, which celebrated its 10th anniversary, demonstrated a clear shift in the market: the growing convergence of energy and digital infrastructure.
While the core sectors of Industrial Boiler Equipment and Power Generation remain the backbone of the show, recent iterations have introduced specialized sections dedicated to Engineering Infrastructure for Mining and Data Centers (DCOs) . This reflects the reality of the Russian energy market, where businesses are increasingly looking for autonomous power supply solutions for high-consumption facilities.
What to Expect in 2026
The 2026 exhibition is organized by MVK (part of the ITE Group) and will occupy Hall 1 of Pavilion 1 at Crocus Expo. Based on the success of the previous year, here is what attendees can look forward to:
1. A Growing Marketplace
The 2025 show saw participation from 63 companies, primarily from Russia and China, occupying over 3,000 square meters of exhibition space. This represents significant growth from 2024, which hosted 40 exhibitors, indicating a rapid expansion of the sector.
2. Five Key Exhibition Sections
The expo floor is meticulously divided to cover all aspects of energy generation and transfer:
- Industrial Boiler Equipment: Boilers, modular plants, burners, and steam generators for autonomous and centralized systems.
- Power Generation Equipment: Local and backup power sources including diesel and gas piston power plants, cogeneration units, and UPS systems.
- Heat Exchange Equipment: Technologies for thermal transfer, water treatment, and automation of heating units.
- Repair and Service: Diagnostics, modernization, and maintenance of energy equipment.
- Mining & DCO Infrastructure: (New and growing section) Featuring ASIC miners, GPU rigs, liquid cooling systems, ventilation, and turn-key data center construction services.
3. Professional Audience
HEAT&POWER is a B2B event. In 2024, despite industry challenges, the exhibition attracted 3,080 professionals from 61 Russian regions. By 2025, the cross-industry “Interindustry Technology Week” (which runs concurrently with other trade shows) drew a combined 12,499 specialists. This audience includes top managers from power grids, industrial enterprises, agricultural holdings (specifically greenhouse complexes), and hotel infrastructure.
Business Program and Media Presence
Beyond the physical hardware, the show is a hub for intellectual exchange. The 2025 business program featured over 70 speakers and more than 300 listeners, discussing critical topics such as:
- Economics of small-scale generation.
- Energy supply for agricultural complexes.
- LNG generation.
- Energy infrastructure for data processing centers.
In a unique move last year, the exhibition hosted a mobile TV studio, “Ether Energy Live,” led by journalist Boris Martsinkevich, conducting live interviews with industry experts. This trend is likely to continue in 2026, blending media coverage with technical discourse.
Why Attend?
For international and local suppliers, HEAT&POWER offers direct access to the decision-makers of the Russian energy market. Feedback from exhibitors like RME-RG (official partner of YARDIZEL) highlights that the audience is highly professional, with over 95% of visitors being direct customers seeking solutions for specific projects—ranging from industrial plant upgrades to powering remote mining farms.
As Russia continues to develop its local manufacturing capabilities and energy efficiency programs, HEAT&POWER stands out not just as an exhibition, but as a strategic tool for entering the Russian industrial heating and power market.
