Introduced to provide a platform for interaction between role players in the industry from all fields related to renewable energy, REA has been scheduled to run from 9th to 11th November at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

“Energy is at the root of all social endeavours. Nothing can be achieved without it. Sadly, for so many years, we have taken energy for granted. We have used it indiscriminately in the apparent belief that reserves are infinite and we have been ignorant of the detrimental effects of inappropriate use.” This is the view of the Chairman of the South African National Energy Association (SANEA), Brian Statham.

There has been a global increase in the demand for energy, and the traditional sources the world has relied on are dwindling. The world has landed in a situation where it is forced to seek alternative sources of energy. Realising the necessity to diversify, in some parts of the world countries have moved away from relying on coal and oil as their only sources of energy. “A number of countries around the world have established the use of solar and wind energy, and biomass is also used in some rural applications,” says Brian.
