Saudi Energy 2013 to line up major power solutions

01 March 2013

KEY power solutions to address Saudi Arabia’s surging energy demands will be highlighted at Saudi Energy 2013 to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The 16th international trade exhibition for electricity power generation, alternative energy, water technology, lighting and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) will take place from May 26 to 29 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Considered to be one of the largest and most specialised energy exhibitions in the Middle East and held under the patronage of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Water and Electricity, Saudi Energy covers major aspects of the energy domain featuring four concurrent events – Saudi Elenex, Saudi Luminex, Saudi Aircon, and Saudi Water Tech.

Saudi Energy 2013 aims to address energy demand and expand market opportunities amidst a line-up of around SR502.5-billion ($133 billion) worth of power generation and water projects for the next decade in order to drive electrical generation upwards through 2019.

“Factors such as a region-leading economy, ongoing structural reforms, a growing and young population and a diversifying business landscape are all boosting Saudi Arabia’s demand to raise its energy output to unprecedented levels,” said Khaled Daou, project manager of Saudi Energy at Riyadh Exhibitions Company.

“By 2022 we could see electricity projects collectively worth SR300 billion ($80 billion) up and running across the country. The rapid expansion of the kingdom’s energy sector requires keen insights on specific consumer needs, market and partnership opportunities, best practices, and the right technologies – all of which are precisely what Saudi Energy 2013 aims to deliver,” he said.
