ENERGY CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION SEEKS TO ADDRESS SOLUTIONS TO ENERGY CRISES
The inaugural ENERGY Conference & Exhibition is a unique and focused business forum aimed at creating a platform in Africa for the exploration of alternative and renewable energy resources. This premier event, to be hosted at the Sandton Convention Centre in September 2008, will provide the ideal networking climate for companies and consumers to interact with the latest technology trends available globally to explore alternative energy solution.
“The energy industry is facing a series of challenges that no one company can address on its own,” says Liz Hart, Managing Director of organizing company, Siyenza Management, “the current energy crises in South Africa, has led to this much needed energy showcase and with the rise of intelligent energy technologies and processes, new trends are revolutionizing the way we deal with energy.”
The event entitled ‘Sourcing solutions for a new energy future’, will encompass a conference as well as an exhibition to identify the actions required to re-shape our future and to look at alternative and renewable energy solutions to span the current stalemate in this industry sector. Key decisions need to be taken that will have a massive impact on our energy future. With no action, South Africa will continue in the situation of significant price increases, rolling power cuts, complete energy dependence coupled with the detrimental impact on our sensitive environment.
The way forward will be to explore alternative energy solutions both for the business community as well as the consumer and to implement an effective roadmap for a new energy future with a strong focus on renewable energy. Important to this process will be to source competitive energy resources that will reduce the expense of power as well as consumption that will be sustainable. The conference will discuss ways to increase public awareness to harness sustainable initiatives for the future.
