GEC NEWS WIREEvent will include the discussion on ways of effective deployment of solar projects
The Gulf countries will be addressing some of the main challenges related to the deployment of energy projects in desert terrain at Gulf Sol 2013. The industry summit will take place from September 3rd to 5th at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre. The event will feature government and private sector companies discussing ways of effective deployment of solar projects while also showcasing some of the latest international technologies.
Top agenda at the Gulf Sol 2013 summit includes discussions on feasibility of solar power projects in remote areas, the wide range of unrealized opportunities in the region for international companies and enforceable regulatory and policy frameworks for implementation of solar projects. The event is expected to be attended by more than 5,000 participants from the region and around the world and will be accompanied by interactive workshops by industry leaders.
GulfSol 2013 will also be highlighting the importance of another industry – the glass sector – which has benefited due to the high demand for solar panels. GulfSol 2013 will be held alongside the 5th edition of the popular Gulf Glass 2013 exhibition, the only specialized regional event dealing with the region’s thriving glass industry. The twin exhibitions will allow the region’s construction and utilities sectors a unique perspective in implementing cost-effective clean energy initiatives in their construction and power projects.
At a press conference in Dubai, Derek Burston, Director of the UK-based Bowmedia, Organizers of Gulf Sol 2013, summarized the growth of the GCC photo-voltaic market as “phenomenal”. “Over the years, solar power has been acknowledged as the most promising source of renewable energy and GCC governments have demonstrated their keenness to shift from traditional energy sources to these low-cost and abundant alternatives,” he said.
