ACM e-Energy is the premier forum for research at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with energy systems (a.k.a. digital energy). It has established a strong track record for high-quality research in the application of computing and networked systems to make legacy systems more energy-efficient and in the design, analysis, and development of sustainable and innovative energy systems. The 17th ACM International Conference on Future and Sustainable Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy 2026) and its co-located tutorials and workshops will be held as part of the first annual ACM Sustainability Week that will co-locate its flagship conferences, ACM e-Energy and ACM BuildSys, along with associated workshops and tutorials in Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity within Banff National Park in Banff, Canada during June 22 - 25, 2026 (the workshops and tutorials are on June 22, 2026 and the main technical conference is during June 23 - 25, 2026). By bringing together researchers in a conference designed to offer significant opportunities for personal interaction, it is a major forum for shaping the future of this area.

We seek high-quality papers at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with smart and sustainable energy systems. We welcome submissions describing conceptual advances, as well as advances in system design, implementation, and experimentation, and we explicitly welcome inter- or transdisciplinary work. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process with sound and detailed feedback.

Relevant topics for ACM e-Energy include, but are not limited to, the following:

    AI/ML and data analytics, e.g., for tackling the climate impact of energy systems
    Algorithmic approaches to energy system problems
    Applications of cyber-physical systems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) to smart energy systems
    Modelling and analysis of multimodal and cross-sectoral energy systems
    Automation and control of smart grids
    Demand-side management, including innovative pricing and incentive design
    Distributed ledger systems for energy systems
    Economics and business models for smart energy systems, including aggregators and prosumers
    Electricity market and electricity supply chain measurement, modeling, and analysis
    Electric vehicles and energy-efficient transportation systems
    Distributed energy resources, including energy storage and renewable resources
    Energy-efficient computing and communication, including data centers
    Design and operation of low-carbon and sustainable energy systems
