SAUDI Arabia’s potential in the power sector will be highlighted this month at Saudi Energy 2014, the latest edition of one of the leading specialised energy exhibitions in the Middle East.

Jointly organised by Riyadh Exhibitions Company (REC) and Informa Exhibitions, the international trade exhibition for electricity, power generation, alternative energy, water technology and lighting will be held from May 26 to 28 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The event will showcase the latest trends and cutting-edge products, equipment, solutions and services in the power industry, in addition to alternative and renewable energy technologies, modern lighting products, and water resources management technologies.

It will serve as an ideal platform for companies across the globe to generate business and networking opportunities as well as promote their latest technological creations and innovations.

Fahad Al Athel, deputy general manager of REC, said: “The demand for electricity generation is rapidly increasing in Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s largest energy producers. The expanding local energy sector is being bolstered further by the booming industrial sector and growing government investments. Saudi Energy 2014 aims to highlight and enhance this growth by providing a venue for exhibitors to network and share their expertise with leading industry peers.

“We are looking forward to attracting more participants at this year’s event,” he added.

The annual event attracts hundreds of local and international organisations and more than 7,000 visitors worldwide.

Representatives from government agencies, power production, construction and development, and other major industrial companies as well as factory operators, service providers, and distributors and retailers are regular participants of the show.
