New Delhi: A three-day Renewable Energy India Exhibition and Conference (REI) was held recently at Indian Exposition Mart Ltd., Knowledge Park II, Greater Noida, whose aim was to accelerate growth of Indian Renewable Energy sector by offering sustainable development opportunities to businesses.
Organised by UBM India, the 8th edition was inaugurated by Anil Jain, IAS, Adviser (Energy), Planning Commission, and attended by among others Munehiko Tsuchiya, Executive Director, NEDO, Japan, Dillon Banerjee, Counselor for Commercial Affairs, US Commercial Services, US Embassy, Luigi Estero, First Counsellor, Head of Economic and Commercial Section, Rosaline Kwan, Acting Minister (Commercial), High Commission of Canada, Phil Marker, Counsellor & Head - Energy, Climate & Growth Unit, British High Commission and Henriette Faergemann, Environment, Climate and Energy Counsellor in the European Union Delegation to India.
Regarded as Asia's most influential event in the renewable energy sector, the 2014 edition attracted more than 500 exhibitors, 12,000 trade visitors and 1000 conference delegates across 35 countries.
The three-day conference featured insightful sessions covering all segments, ranging from future prospects of bioenergy in India to geothermal energy (ground and water-source) for energy security to innovative technology solutions in wind projects to understand the matrix of grid connections. The event was witnessed by decision makers, influencers as well as technical experts and professionals from leading companies involved in the renewable energy generation, transmission and distribution within India and across the globe.
The key highlight of the show this year was the 'Start-up' Pavilion, to encourage budding entrepreneurs with a limited budget to build their business portfolio. There were multiple conference sessions deliberating upon the challenges and solutions that exist in the renewable energy sector.
The CEO Conclave, Firestarter session by Bloomberg, Smart Grid sessions, Bioenergy session by VTT Finland were the other highlights of the conference and workshop. The Planning Commission of India also hosted a session 'India Energy Security Scenario 2047'.
The event showcased country pavilions from Japan, Italy, USA, Taiwan, Canada, Belgium and Catalonia besides a European Pavilion. Renewable Energy India Expo 2014 was supported by leading associations like National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI), Solar Energy Association of Gujarat (SEAG), Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF), UK Trade and Investment, and Bloomberg New Energy Finance as Strategic partner.
Also significant participation from international bodies such as Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce, ACCIO (Government of Catalonia), European Business and Technology Centre, Piemonte: Agency for Investment, Export and Tourism, marked the 2014 edition of REI.
Elaborating on the event, Joji George, Managing Director, UBM India, said, "The good news is that the stage is set with the new government coming in. The budget allocation makes for a realistically tangible setting for the renewable industry to hope and expect considerable momentum in the sector. And now the onus lies on the industry to step up innovations and leverage on the multiple investment opportunities being created by the Indian government. Again this is where a well-coordinated and close cooperation across stakeholders will determine a coherent and outcome led policy and vision. And the industry associations have to align and chart their road map accordingly. UBM India's focus for REI Expo 2014 is to provide the much needed 'Magnified visibility' to the government's initiative by creating a platform for dialogue and action amongst industry players, associations and policy makers, for the way forward."
