2014 South Africa International Meter Exhibition

Exhibition time: May 13-14, 2014 (annual/14th)

Venue: Cape Town International Exhibition Center (CTICC), South Africa

Organizer: South Africa International Exhibition Company Exhibition:

As the largest power producer in Africa and the most economically advanced country in Africa, South Africa’s power industry is relatively developed, generating 60% of power in Africa. It is also a member of the South African Power Coalition (SAPP) and a major power exporter in Africa, to Botswana and Mozambique. Electricity is supplied in neighboring countries such as Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. However, with the acceleration of industrialization in recent years, the demand for electricity in South Africa has increased. The total demand is about 34,000 megawatts. The national power generation capacity is about 29,000 megawatts, and the gap is about 0.5 million megawatts. To this end, the South African government specially allocated US$10 billion in April 2011 to the South African power company ESKOM for the development of the electric power industry, especially the solar energy-based new energy market, to build a comprehensive use of coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy and water. A production mechanism capable of generating electricity to ensure South Africa’s electricity supply. For the entire African continent, the annual investment in the electricity market is as high as US$90 billion.

Under this background, the 14th African Power Exhibition in 2013 will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, from May 13th to 14th. It will be jointly organized by the South African Electric Power Company (ESKOM) and the South African Ministry of Industry and Trade (DTI). It will cover fields such as power generation, transmission and distribution, smart metering, new energy generation, and water resources management from 60 countries and regions, covering Mozambique, Kenya, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Nigeria, the Kingdom of Lesotho, Ghana. , Uganda, Tanzania, Israel, Botswana, the Republic of Malawi, Guinea, etc. This is also Africa’s longest, largest, and highest-ranking participant (national energy minister, power company president, CEO) and the most far-reaching influence. Exhibition.

This event consists of two parts: the product exhibition and the summit forum. The product exhibition is to invite leading companies in the international power industry to showcase the latest products and technologies. The products cover all fields of power industry such as power generation, transmission and distribution, power transformation, dispatch, and power marketing. We will invite South Africa and other African countries during the Summit Forum. National power company experts, senior engineers and representatives of some exhibitors conducted profound research and discussion on many issues and potential opportunities in the development of the African electricity market.

Market analysis:

According to the forecast of the International Finance Fund, from 2011 to 2015, 7 of the 10 fastest-growing countries in the world come from Africa;

Due to intense project bids, the price of new energy in the South African Independent Power Plant (IPP) project has dropped by 20-40%;

South Africa is planning to invest 28 billion rand to build 7 wind power stations and 9 solar projects;

South Africa plans to halve the number of people with water shortages in 2015. The challenge is to increase the supply of drinking water, of which 64% live in rural areas;

Africa has abundant water resources but its distribution is extremely uneven. Only 3.8% of them have been developed for use in agriculture, water supply and industry. The hydropower generation rate is still very low, only 7%. The development rate is only a quarter of the global average;

Africa still needs more investment in the field of energy infrastructure. At the same time, Africa will also take into account the relationship between the three major factors: economic development, energy security and utilization, and sustainability, and strengthen cooperation among African countries and regions;

Africa plans to build 2,300 different nuclear reactors in the next 6-8 years and employ more than 7,000 people to solve the power shortage problem;

Hydropower construction has been included in the infrastructure development plan for Africa in 2040, including the Congo-Inga3 dam project in Congo, the Cahora Bassa Super Hydropower Station (HCB) in Tete province in Mozambique, the Mpanda Nkuwa hydropower plant in Mozambique, the Mpanda Nkuwa hydropower plant in Zambia, and the Zambezi river.
