Description
The MENA region is predestined as a location for solar energy production. With some of the highest solar irradiance levels in the world, large open spaces and an increasing demand for energy, experts verify the high growth potential of the region's solar industry.
The first Intersolar Middle East in Dubai took place in a historical year. In 2016, Dubai set a new record for the cost of solar power of about 3 US cents per kWh. During Intersolar Middle East, an extremely low price of 2.42 US cents per kWh for solar energy was bid during an auction for a solar farm near Abu Dhabi in the UAE. That is by far the lowest solar farm bit. This shows the direction of solar becoming the cheapest energy source compared to all other energy sources, including fossil fuels and nuclear power.
Intersolar Middle East 2016 covered the complete value chain of PV with 100 international exhibitors from manufacturing companies as Centrotherm and Schmid, cell- and module makers such as Solarworld, Canadian Solar, and Sharp, inverter companies like Fronius and Kaco, up to energy storage solutions from e.g. OutBack Power, and electric vehicles from Microtron Technologies. The exhibition also covered content-wise all PV and CSP related topics. In 2 open rooms, 17 free of charge, CPD certified workshops from IRENA, RENAC and Solar Energy International draw a lot of attention to the international audience. The co-located conference with 80 renowned speakers, gave deep insights in all MENA country markets, perspectives in PV development as well as policies and regulations. The need for local manufacturing was discussed as well as the importance of innovative and reliable technologies.
Intersolar Middle East offers you the best possibilities to network with policy makers and government officials from the MENA region. Increase your profits at one of the most lucrative emerging solar markets and benefit from direct access to key buyers from across the Middle East and Northern Africa!
The second edition of Intersolar Middle East will take place again in Dubai at the DWTC from September 25-27, 2017.
