As part of the 5th Renewable Energy India 2011 Expo, the Indian Geothermal Energy Association is organizing geothermal sessions looking at the Indian geothermal potential, players and international experience in development. The event takes place August 10-12, 2011 in New Delhi, India.

The Indian economy is experiencing tremendous growth over the past several years. Energy, in all its forms, underpins both past and future growth. For the economy to continue this trajectory, India needs to address its energy challenges across all sectors.

India has abundant, untapped renewable energy resources including a large land mass that receives the highest solar irradiance of 5 trillion kWh/yr, a large coastline of 7500 Kms for realising on-shore & offshore wind potential, significant annual production of biomass, and numerous rivers and waterways having immense potential for developing hydropower.

At the same time geothermal energy is being looked at as being able to provide renewable base-load capacity to the table and there are several companies working on projects in India, as well as looking at opportunities outside of India.

The 5th Renewable Energy India 2011 Expo is a global platform to jointly address policy initiatives and innovative finance models to accelerate development of collaborative R&D and technology transfers to India in the field of renewables.

The event is expected to attract 650 exhibitors, 200 speakers, 2000 conference delegates and more than 20,000 trade visitors from across the globe.

The event aims to bring together the world leaders in the field of renewable energy from governments, civil society, and private sector to provide an interactive forum to discuss and exchange their visions, experiences, and solutions for upscaling and mainstreaming renewable energy to achieve sustainable economic growth.

Packed with a full-scale trade show, the expo will also host a series of concurrent conference sessions, knowledge exchanging workshops, networking forums, business meetings, product launches, Youth summit and Green entrepreneurial Awards.
