With an estimated potential of over 15GW in the Rift Valley, the geothermal sector holds the promise to boost the clean energy revolution. Driven by increasing electricity demand and a need to fuel heavy industry, Kenya has established itself as the leader on the continent, with over 200MW of installed geothermal capacity, and more than 5 GW of new capacity targeted by 2030. This will be catalysed by the strong support of the Government to reduce exploratory risk, and implement an attractive legislative framework to promote new development. The other Rift Valley nations are working hard to catch up. Ethiopia particularly is making strides to develop their industry, with a number of projects moving through the development stages. Elsewhere, Rwanda has announced exploratory drilling projects, Djibouti has expressed interest to develop their resource, whilst Uganda and Tanzania also house significant potential. Despite the potential, the industry is young, and there remains a need for improved dialogue and co-operation between Government actors, financiers and local and international private companies. GeoPower Africa bridges this gap by connecting these key stakeholders in a focused strategic forum to work towards addressing the key milestones of project development.

COWEC - conference of the wind power engineering community - is an international annual conference with exhibition. COWEC covers all aspects of wind power engineering and presents the entire range of technical developments currently offered by internationally renown wind power manufacturers, component and equipment manufacturers, energy suppliers, universities and research institutes.

In recent years, China has identified wind energy as an important alternative power source to rebalance its energy mix. Supportive regulations and policies have been introduced to support this development. According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), worldwide installed wind capacity reached 197GW in 2010. China alone added 19GW within one year, accounting for more than 50% of the world market and becoming the center of the international wind industry. Meanwhile, China has become the world’s most important wind generation equipment manufacturing nation and is making a great contribution to the development of clean energy worldwide.

HydroVision International is more than just a conference and exhibition - it is also the premier event for networking and for expanding your knowledge on Hydro- energy.
