Electricity Transmission & Distribution, Inward Mission

Monday, 25 January, 2010 - Friday, 29 January, 2010

Location: London UK

World demand for electricity is set to rise markedly over the next two decades.

Global electricity generation is forecast by the US Dept of Energy to rise from 16.4 billion KWh in 2004 to 30 billion KWh by 2030. Much of this growth is projected for nations outside the OECD. The International Energy Agency has projected that between 2006-2030 the cumulative investment in the global energy supply infrastructure will be $22 trillion of which just over 50% of all investment needs will be in the electricity infrastructure. That is a financial investment of some $11trillion.
