• Unprecedented gathering of industry leaders join 2010 Summit to analyse trends, opportunities and effective policies
   

MEED, the region’s premier business intelligence provider, has announced the dates of the second Arabian Power and Water Summit. Taking place on 30-31 March at the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, Abu Dhabi, UAE, the Summit will be held under the patronage of the Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority (ADWEA) with HE Abdulla Saif Al Nuaimi delivering the keynote address.
 
The region’s power and water industry faces increasing pressure to generate sufficient power and water supply due to its rapid population growth in the last few years. Now is the time for key clients and developers to act and prepare for future demand expectations. MEED estimates that new power capacity requirement to 2015 is 7,500MW and new desalination requirement to 2015 is 310 million gallons per day, which calls for substantial investment.
 
Edmund O’Sullivan, MEED Events Chairman said, “The power and water industry is vital to ensuring the economic success of the region, so it is of critical importance that companies and individuals have their fingers firmly on the pulse of industry developments and the opportunities within it. Our second Arabian Power and Water Summit will host an unprecedented gathering of industry leaders and encompass prime intelligence and real facts.”
The Arabian Power and Water Summit 2010 will provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the regional power and water market and will address how the region is coping with gas feedstock challenges.
