The new state-of-the-art Marina Bay Sands resort, located along the Marina Bay waterfront, will host Renewable Energy World Asia and its co-located POWER-GEN Asia conferences and exhibitions, from 2nd to 4th November 2010.

The business hub for the region’s renewables industry

Singapore is one of the pioneers of deregulation of the electricity market, revolutionary in the region of South East Asia, and as a result, the region’s eyes have closely followed the outcome.

The energy industry is a major contributor to the Singapore economy and their goal is to increase the value-added of Singapore’s energy industry from $20 billion to around $34 billion by 2015.

Clean energy is a key growth area for Singapore with the target of generating $1.7 billion value-added and 7,000 jobs by 2015.

The conference has become the major annual platform to discuss topics and issues of the day and is regularly contributed to with keynote speeches from Government Ministers and Governors of the region’s utility companies and is considered the leading power industry event with international recognition and prestige.

With a vast array of natural and renewable energy resources at their disposal, the region’s Governments continue to explore new opportunities to encourage the generation of power from renewable energy. Renewable Energy World Asia is the key forum for senior executives and industry leaders to discuss a range of important topics, the latest issues and solutions, in order to meet the challenge of the growing demand for electricity in the region and need for generating power from renewable energy sources.

Event Director, Paul Sweeney, said, “We are delighted that Renewable Energy World Asia will be hosted in Singapore from 2nd to 4th November 2010. The enthusiasm and support of the Singapore industry and authorities will ensure the success of the event.”

“It is important for the renewables industry that the region’s premier event continues to go from strength to strength and we continuously strive to deliver exhibition and conference content that meets the needs of the industry today.”

Renewable Energy World Asia will enjoy the support of the Singapore Exhibition & Convention Bureau, along with the Independent Power Producers Forum (IPPF).
