USA - Exhibition: Optimizing Wind Power Performance

Over 150 attendees are expected in Houston, USA on the 2-3 September to hear over 12 CxOs & VPs share their insight on how to improve wind farm performance. The growing demand for green electricity has dramatically increased and wind energy has steadily established itself as one of the most reliable and affordable green energies. However, rising turbine costs and increased competition has prompted wind farm operators to improve their existing power output to stay competitive.

The conference and exhibition is being run over 2 days and also consists of a pre-conference workshop and training course for those who are new to the market or wish to refresh their knowledge. If you would like to know more about training click here.
