Alstom at Power Gen Africa 2012

Johannesburg, South Africa will host the first Power Gen Africa and Renewable Energy World Africa conferences November  6-8, 2012.  These power industry events will bring together experts from electric utilities, industry and independent power producers, technology suppliers and government policy/regulatory leaders.  Together, they will discuss and debate the future needs and direction for power generation and transmission in southern Africa.
 
Alstom will actively participate in this dialogue, bringing our technical and commercial experts, and country/business management to engage on the conference agenda, discuss our product offers in our cyber-café booth at the exhibition, and meet privately with key clients.  We look forward to sharing insights from the conference, discussing generation and transmission technology innovations, as well as joining power industry colleagues over a cup of coffee at the Alstom cyber café (Booth H22) immediately in front of the entrance to the exhibition area.
