The event venue has been equipped with an energy promotion (policy) hall that provides an overview of the energy industry, an energy industry hall participated by energy research institutes, universities, and companies, and an energy education hall that provides exposure to various energy sources.

Major events include: an eco-friendly energy idea contest open to all people; an energy job concert, a symposium on the subject of fostering new hydrogen industries; academic conferences and seminars for industry, academia, research, and government; and a painting contest under the eco-friendly energy theme.
