The paper registration and submission sites are:

Fall: https://eenergy26fall.hotcrp.com
Winter: https://eenergy26winter.hotcrp.com
The website will open for new submissions three weeks before each deadline.

* NEW this year *
- ACM e-Energy will be part of ACM Sustainability Week!
- Submission Tracks: For the purpose of improving review quality, consistency, and fairness, the authors should select their submission track out of four options. Details are in the submission instructions.
- Invite as Notes: A selected number of rejected full papers may be invited to be submitted as Notes papers. If the authors accept the invitation, their papers will undergo a secondary, lighter review process, following a timeline similar to that of revised submissions. This approach replaces the previous “Accept as Notes” designation with “Invite as Notes.” Details are in the submission instructions.
- Resubmission Policy: Papers rejected in the Fall deadline of ACM e-Energy 2026 are not eligible for immediate resubmission to the Winter deadline. However, papers rejected in either the Fall or Winter cycles of e-Energy 2026 are welcome to be submitted as new submissions to either deadline in e-Energy 2027.


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
- Measurement and accounting of greenhouse gas emissions arising from the energy sector
- Microgrid and distributed generation management and control
- Modeling and understanding user behavior in energy systems
- Sizing, monitoring, and control of energy systems for smart grids, smart buildings, and smart cities

Authors Take Note
The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference).
