ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

POWER-GEN Africa & DistribuTECH Africa is the meeting place for high-level government officials, as well as the world’s leading equipment and services providers and those developing and operating power infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa. 

Renowned for delivering high-quality content and comprehensive in-depth practical information, the conference and exhibition brings together a range of experts involved in every aspect of power generation and distribution including government policy makers and those involved in planning, finance and legal aspects as well as utility and private power producers. The event also brings togethers independent project developers, financiers, engineers, suppliers and operators in a forum that offers valuable networking and information exchange.

The event comprises an extensive conference programme and exhibition dedicated to the needs, resources and issues facing the power generation and distribution sector across the sub-Sahara Africa region under the theme Creating Power for Sustainable Growth.

This follows on from the global trend and governments in most sub-Saharan Africa countries having established increasingly ambitious RE targets for their power sectors with solar, wind, and geothermal technologies representing the highest growth. While the sub-Saharan African power sector faces many challenges, there is real momentum for change, not least the UN program on Sustainable Energy for All which is sparking private-sector activity in many different parts of the value chain.

The worldwide POWER-GEN and DistribuTECH family of events stand for quality information exchange and leading edge technology. This is your chance to make your mark at POWER-GEN Africa & DistribuTECH Africa 2016 alongside leading power professionals from the international and sub-Sahara Africa region.
