Upcoming Events: Powertrends 2018
Powertrends 2018: 13th International Exhibition and Conference on Directions for Energy, Power and Electricity
2018 has seen new developments in the Philippines’ energy sector. The passage of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act has enforced new excise taxes on energy fuels, while the establishment of an Independent Market Operator for the local Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) has shifted a long-standing paradigm. Combined with the issuance of the Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), the growing role of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as in the gas industry, growing digitization and technological innovation, the country’s energy future is being reshaped. This will also mean more choices for consumers, especially for renewable energy, and changes in underlying business models.
- PowerTrends, focusing on Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Management.
- Energy Expo, focusing on Renewable Energy, Natural Gas/LNG, Oil and Gas Exploration, Coal Mining and Processing and Energy Efficiency and Management (including Smart Sustainable Cities)/
