Dubai [ UAE On April 10 (ANI/WAM), the 49th iteration of Middle East Energy, which is the biggest energy exposition in the area, came to an end. Dubai The World Trade Center operates under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.
The event included the Africa Business Leaders Forum, where investors and specialists came together to discuss issues, potential investments, and collaboration possibilities between the Middle East and Africa.
The discussions centered around releasing investments into Africa via creative financial solutions and collaborative alliances. Moderating the session was Anna Hajduk from the African GreenCo Group. The event kicked off with comments from Ahmed Al Mulla, who serves as the Executive Vice President at Infinity Power. In his opening statements, he emphasized Africa’s abundant solar and hydroelectric potential; however, this wealth contrasts starkly against underdeveloped infrastructures that result in more than 600 million individuals lacking access to power.
Morocco’s approach to renewables has been heralded as a successful blueprint. During her discussion, Fatima Zahra Khalifa, who serves as the General Manager of Cluster ENR at Morocco's Climate Innovation Centre, highlighted the Xlinks initiative. This ambitious project seeks to produce up to 10 gigawatts of renewable power for transmission to the UK.
At the exhibition, several new products were introduced, such as Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd's compact Optiprime dual-core generator (1,000 kVA) — which stands out as the most petite within its category — along with their Sentinel range designed specifically for smaller applications.
Mark Ring, the Energy Exhibitions Director at Informa Markets, stated that this year’s event was the biggest and most successful yet, featuring unprecedented levels of participation, significant new product releases, and the introduction of the Battery Show—an initiative that will grow even more substantial by 2026.
