Number of exhibitors doubles and attendance up by 60%

The PennWell Corporation and The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) has pronounced POWER-GEN Renewable Energy 2005, the all-renewable energy trade show held recently at the Las Vegas Hilton a success with over 100% growth in exhibitors and 60% growth in attendees.

“There has never been as many and as broad a mix of renewable energy companies in one place at one time as at this show,” said Rhone Resch, executive director of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). “This seems to offer a very important role in demonstrating all the companies and renewable energy options that exist and state officials, federal officials and private investors are here to learn more about these technologies and the role they can play in the US.”

Major exhibitors included GE Energy & Global Energy Decisions, BP Solar, Shell Solar, Vestas, Airtricity, Ormat, Calpine, Babcock & Wilcox Co., Black & Veatch, EnXco, and DaimlerChrysler to name a few.

The tangible benefits experienced by companies like Airtricity and DaimlerChrysler are expected to foster considerable growth for POWER-GEN Renewable Energy 2006, where the exhibit floor should be home to more than 160 exhibiting companies. Combined with a first-class conference programme, POWER-GEN Renewable Energy 2006 should attract more than 2,400 attendees to the Mandalay Bay from April 10-12, 2006 in Las Vegas.
