CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE SOUTH AFRICA
WIND POWER AFRICA 2010 will tackle the full range of wind energy subjects and will especially focus on developing strategies and instruments for wind energy in less– and non–industrialised countries of the world. The adaptation of successful technologies and strategies to specific regional and local conditions will be the central theme of our conference. The conference will address not only technology issues but also policy and regulatory aspects, funding, return on investment and environmental impact.
