MANILA, Philippines — Powertrends
2019, the longest running energy exhibition in the Philippines, opens today at
the SMX Convention Center, MOA Complex in Pasay City.
Organized since 1995 by Leverage
International in cooperation with the Department of Energy, this two-day event
themed “The Trends Shaping Around Renewable Energy” features an international
exhibition, a business conference, networking cocktail and technical workshops.
The Philippine energy sector is
poised for transformation. There is a fast growing electricity demand resulting
from the Build Build Build program of the President. Along with the other 10
member countries of ASEAN, the Philippines is on track to make solar and other
renewables account for 23 percent of the region’s total primary energy supply
by 2025.
The Philippine government is working
to improve policies and investment framework for clean energy. In line with
these developments, Powertrends provides the platform for bringing together the
players in these fields in one big gathering- where energy professionals and
practitioners together with policy and law makers will assemble to exchange
knowledge and build business relationships.
Powertrends exhibition will showcase
the newest technologies, systems and projects by key energy players such as
Shell, SMC Global Power, AboitizPower, Edward Marcs, Solvera Lynx, Meanwell
Enterprise, to name a few.
Since 1995, Powertrends has become a
part of the history of the energy sector. From acute blackouts up to the
entry of the build-operate-transfer (BOT) program of power plant developments –
and onward to the passage and enforcement of the EPIRA law that ushered in the
privatization of the country’s power assets, Powertrends had been there
providing a venue for discussion of much- needed policy and regulatory
frameworks for the industry.
With the rise of the renewable
energy sector, digitalization and the forthcoming reset of the Philippine gas
sector through liquefied natural gas (LNG) investments, Powertrends continues
to be the “bridge for information and exchange of views” on technology
developments and future trends for the energy sector.
Powertrends will introduce the 1st
Philippine Floating Solar Forum 2019 organized by the Philippine Solar and
Storage Energy Alliance. The event, to be co-located with Powertrends will
gather technology experts, project developers and practitioners, regulatory
agencies, development agencies, local and foreign investors to impart
knowledge, experiences and best practices on the floating solar technology and
to discuss among experts the critical formulation and changes needed on the
regulatory policies.
