MUSCAT -- The Sultanate's most influential power and water sector conference will be held from May 6 - 9, 2012, with a high-profile line-up of speakers set to present on an array of topics at the heart of this vibrant industry.
Now in its second year, the Summit has been endorsed by all of the major stakeholders, including the Public Authority for Electricity and Water (PAEW), Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources, Authority for Electricity Regulation - Oman, Electricity Holding Company (EHC), Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP) and Rural Areas Electricity Company (RAECO).
"The 2012 Summit builds on our maiden event of last year by featuring the most comprehensive speaker line up composed of 60 senior industry experts discussing key issues such as energy efficiency, sustainable power and generation capacity, renewable energy, security and quality of the electricity and water system.
With over 300 local and international attendees, this year's event will further entrench the Oman Power and Water Summit as the signature B2B forum of this vital industry," commented Rozenn Cornec, Divisional Director - Oman at IQPC Middle East.
A roster of distinguished speakers will take turns to offer enlightened perspectives on the outlook for the power and water sector in Oman. Key stakeholders from the public and private power and water industries, consultancy and construction firms, finance and legal institutions will exchange best practices and discuss investment opportunities.
The list of presenters includes Mohammed bin Abdullah al Mahrouqi, Chairman, Public Authority for Electricity and Water; John Cunneen, Executive Director and Member, Authority for Electricity Regulation, Oman; Ahmed bin Saleh al Jahdhami, COO, Oman Power and Water Procurement Company; Omar bin Khalfan al Wahaibi, CEO, Electricity Holding Company; Hussain Hassan Ali Abdul Hussain, CEO, Haya Water; Shankar Krishnamoorthy, President and CEO, IPR-GDF SUEZ Middle East, Turkey & Africa; Dr Brian Motherway, COO, Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland; Richard Menezes, Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Utico; William King, General Manager, STOMO; Gerhard Scheffer, Vice President Sales, Siemens Energy and Bruce Smith, Business Adviser, Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority.
Setting the stage for four days of insightful deliberations is the focus day dedicated to energy efficiency, a key issue for policy makers at a time of escalating energy demand and dwindling energy resources. Delegates will have the opportunity to interact with local officials and international experts on policies, strategies, technologies and best practices in improving power and water networks efficiency, optimising asset performance and reducing costs.
Following the two-day main conference on May 7 and 8, the workshop day on May 9 will conclude the summit with interactive sessions led by Oman Power & Procurement Company, KPMG, Ernst & Young, Clean Energy Business Council MENA and Majan Electricity Company.
Attendees will have the opportunity to further explore the planning, financing and procurement of power generation and water desalination capacity as well as the adoption of renewable energy to improve energy efficiency in the Sultanate.
Attesting to the Summit's appeal is the strong interest and support of well renowned local and international solutions and service providers within the power and water industries.
"This is a must-attend event for authorities and business executives who wish to stay abreast of a dynamic GCC's utility industry. Not only is the sector growing at a phenomenal pace, it is also breaking new ground in such areas as privatization, renewables, energy efficiency, and rationalization of power consumption," C J Paul, CEO of Global Exhibitions and Conferences LLC (GEC) said.
Oman Power and Water Summit 2012 has been organised by trade show specialists Global Exhibitions and Conferences LLC (GEC) in partnership with the leading conference organiser International Quality and Productivity Centre (IQPC).
