Power Trends 2009

Launched in 1955 by the Department of Energy (DoE) and the National Power Corporation (Napocor) at the height of the energy crisis in the Philippines, the exhibition Power Trends aims to gather under one roof the major international energy players to introduce them to the Philippine market and the relevant government agencies and private companies.

From its first staging, the international exhibition on energy, power, and electrical technology has expanded its list of exhibitors and partners. The year, Power Trends 2009 is held at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, Philippines.

Power Trends 2009 will be held concurrently with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Ministerial Conference on “Managing the Transition to Resource-Efficient and Low-Carbon Industries in Asia.’’ Also with Power Trends 2009 are Energy Expo 2009 and Electech 2009.

The main exhibition, Power Trends 2009, will showcase technologies that address climate change concerns, including those that improve power energy, and lighting efficiency. Seveal companies and experts are expected to discuss ways to upgrade and build new plants to meet growing market demands for an expanding economy and growing population, covering the extraction or production of fossil fuel, natural gases, and eco-friendly products that are existing and under development.

The parallel events focus on other areas. Energy Expo 2009 covers oil and gas, offshore and onshore exploration, coal mining, renewable energy, alternative energy, energy management, logistics and storage, consultancy and services. Electech 2009 covers controls and instrumentation, conductors and insulators, other electrical equipment, lighting technologies, equipment and accessories, and consultancy to improve power, energy, and lighting efficiency.

As in the past, Power Trends 2009 and its accompanying Powertech Business Forum is expected to provide a venue for those in the power and energy industries to network and negotiate business opportunities to meet the market demand in the Philippines and around the region.

The event is a regular biennial event supported by the Department of Energy (DoE), the National Power Corporation (NPC), and relevant industry agencies and industry association to update the stakeholders of the local power industry on technologies and the concerns that have to be confronted by the industry.

We congratulate the participants and organizers of Power Trends 2009 and wish them success in all their endeavors.
