ECCE was first held in 2009, when it combined the IEEE Power Electronics Society's Power Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC) with the Industrial Power Conversion Systems Department of the IEEE IAS Annual Meeting. The inaugural edition opened in San Jose, California, September 20–24, 2009. That first conference drew over 800 attendees from 40 countries, and featured over 600 papers across 88 oral presentation sessions and 16 poster sessions. Since its first meeting in 2009, ECCE has grown steadily in the scope, quality, and number of technical papers, attendance, and industry involvement, reaching a record attendance of over 1,500 in 2015. The annual congress has rotated among major North American cities, including Baltimore, Detroit, Nashville, and now Vancouver for 2026.
