Green innovations and disruptive technologies are making it possible to quickly roll out integrated microgrid solutions. Evan Schiff, event director of African Utility Week and Energy Revolution Africa said that “In this context, it made sense for us to move with the market and introduce a platform focused on the future of green energy”.What will be showcased
Focusing on community scale projects and innovation in the sectors of renewables, future technology, microgrids, energy efficiency and energy storage, Energy Revolution Africa will showcase the latest technology, as well as practical solutions and examples from successful community and commercial projects.“It will be a powerful opportunity for new energy purchasers and large power users, from commercial property developers and the agricultural sector to mines and metros, as well as anyone interested in the exciting opportunities and technologies that are emerging in a fast growing renewable technology sector,” Schiff said.
