Exhibition Ticker - Wind Power Portugal 2011 Conference & Exhibition
Shaping the future of the Portuguese wind market. 22 - 23 November 2011, Lisbon, Portugal
Dear Sir/Madam,
In a time of economic downturn, Portuguese wind development has robustly continued. An additional 260MW has been installed over the first part or 2011, landing Portugal a top 10 spot in the World Wind Energy Associations (WWEA) top worldwide Wind Energy Markets.
Portugal are also pushing the envelope on offshore wind development, with the innovative WindFloat project set to launch later this month.
With the ambitious targets set out for Portuguese wind, continued growth is key. Wind Power Portugal, now being held on 22-23 November 2011, is focused exclusively on the Portuguese wind sector, where you can hear from key developers and financiers about driving wind power forward.

With a new government at the helm, the industry stands at a pivotal moment. It is now more important than ever for confidence in Portuguese wind to be driven forward to consolidate support and stimulate new investment, with the Economy Minister recently assuring developers that cuts to wind subsidies will not affect planned projects.
Key topics to be addressed at Wind Power Portugal 2011:
- Accessing project finance: Which organisations are currently investing? What financing options are available? Can long term investment be stimulated?
- The continuation of the feed in tariff: At what level will the tariff be secured? Will this lead to sustainable project financing?
- Overcoming long project lead-in times: How can the issue of insufficient grid connection points be resolved? Can the permitting process be made simpler?
- Examining increasing environmental concerns: Will tensions increase as the onshore market further matures? What are the key environmental concerns?
- Cross country grid interconnection: How best to create a balancing market with Europe and North Africa? Can voltage issues be resolved with Spain?
- Smart grid development: How important is its role in balancing increasing wind integration?
- Cutting edge developments in offshore wind pilots: Achieving 75MW by 2020?
- Hydro electric storage: Increasing the use of pumped hydro to compliment wind power generation
Build relationships and drive sales at Wind Power Portugal
