South Africa - Wind Power Africa 2010!
Wind Power Africa 2010 is the premier international event on wind energy in Africa hosted by the African Wind Energy Association in partnership with other African and international organisations.
A powerful networking platform, the event will bring together key African and international stakeholders from the public and private sectors with the aim to unlock Africa’s wind energy potential.
The opportunities for wind power in Africa and South Africa in particular are immense due to a favourable investment climate offering profitable feed-in tariffs for wind energy, tremendous CDM project potential, ideal natural conditions as well as increasing energy demand and capacity shortages in growing economies. Wind Power Africa 2010 will examine the current and future wind energy markets in Africa and highlight attractive business opportunities, with in depth analysis and country case studies.
Wind Power Africa 2010 will take place from 12-14 May 2010 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa featuring a high-profile Conference & Renewable Energy Exhibition, Site Visits, a Networking Cocktail, Gala Dinner and Spouses Programme over the 3-day period.
