Global experts in the power sector now have until January 30 to submit abstracts of papers for the 13th annual Power-Gen Middle East Conference and Exhibition to be held in Abu Dhabi.

The event will run from October 4 to 6 alongside WaterWorld Middle East at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.

The organisers PennWell Corporation said international leaders in the industry are being invited to share their expert knowledge at the event, which has become the definitive platform for discussing issues of economic development in relation to power generation in the Middle East.

Under the theme titled ‘Sharing Technology Innovation’, the advisory board has called upon authors to provide their insights on a theme from one of the strategic conference tracks, which include market structure & regulation; strategic planning; market trends; project issues and renewable energy, with the technical tracks tackling fossil fired technology; renewable energy technology; nuclear power and operation & maintenance.

"Every year we receive submissions of papers that present expert knowledge that reflects impactful analysis of energy trends," stated event director Nigel Blackaby.

Hosting global dialogue on the evolving energy system and on sustainable power production and utilization, Power-Gen Middle East is the definitive platform discussing critical issues that surround economic development in relation to power generation.

"The sessions will be headlined by powerful list of speakers, each a thought-leader in his own right. Such conversation is the need of the hour as electricity demand is expected to surge, resulting in a 45-50 per cent increase in power generation capacity over the period 2015 – 2020, requiring investments in the Middle East & North Africa (Mena) region to the tune of over $200 billion,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
