THE Power-Gen Middle East conference and exhibition, to be held for the first time in Qatar, will explore new solutions for the region’s challenging power and water issues.

The region’s premier conference and exhibition for power generation, transmission and distribution and water industries will run from October 4 to 6, 2010, at the Qatar International Exhibition Centre in Doha.
The conference will aim to cover many issues from market structure and regulation, strategic planning and market trends, to the latest technologies and operational challenges, across three conference tracks.
Discussions and deliberations by a board of industry experts will look at delivering a high quality programme based on strategic and technical issues affecting the power and water industries of the Middle East.
The region’s anticipated growth in demand for power is between seven per cent and eight per cent per annum.
It is anticipated the GCC needs to invest over $130 billion in order to meet future power and water demands.
Power-Gen Middle East 2010 will be co-hosted by Qatar Power, majority owned by Qatar Electricity and Water Company and owners of the Ras Laffan B IWPP. Qatar Electricity and Water Company has confirmed its platinum sponsorship of the event.
