“Everyone who was part of this year’s African Utility Week felt the same passion for the energy and water sectors on the continent and had the feeling that we are on the brink of enormous progress“, says Evan Schiff, event director of the African Utility Week conference.
“Technology, water and renewable energy were strong themes this year, and there is no doubt that renewable energy as well as smart technology are changing the way power and water utilities operate and deal with their customers,” Schiff adds There are big plans in the offing for next year: “as the industry evolves, so will the event. Our exhibition will be even bigger next year as we grow into the new expo space at the CTICC to reflect the new markets and developments in the sector, including a focus on non-utility scale projects, large power users, rooftop solar installations, energy storage, lighting products, independent power producers (IPPs) and EPCs (engineering, procurement and construction.”Confidence in Africa’s energy and water sectors
