Hundreds of International Renewable Experts to Gather in Chile

Huge growth is expected in the Chilean renewables sector with work already started on large-scale solar, wind and geothermal projects. As Europe remains in the clutch of a crisis of confidence and the USA production tax credits are on hold until further notice, Latin America – Chile in particular – offers excellent opportunities for developers, manufacturers and renewable experts who want to maintain investor confidence by accessing new markets. That is why more than 300 international experts will gather in Santiago on the 4-5 September to network and do business at the Chilean International Renewable Energy Congress (CIREC). Bookings are now open and registrations before 24 July will receive a 10% discount.

Featuring three conferences in one, more than 300 attendees will attend:

1. Wind Power Chile

2. Solar Power Chile

3. Geo Power Chile
