MANILA, Nov 16, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – On 16-19 November 2020 (09:00, GMT+8), The Future Energy Show Philippines (16-17 Nov) and The Future Energy Show Vietnam (18-19 Nov) launches live online, bringing together thousands of virtual participants to chart the future of energy in two of Southeast Asia’s most exciting markets. With the Philippines’ growing population and continued industrialization, the Department of Energy (DoE) has forecast the country’s demand for electricity in 2040 to reach over 40,000 megawatts (MW), which far exceeds the existing dependable capacity of 22,736 MW. The Philippine Energy plan targets to increase installed renewable capacity to 20,000 MW by 2040, to help achieve the goal of reliable energy for all in the Philippines. This landscape, together with the government’s initiatives, presents the rise of new opportunities in the Philippines’ energy sector. To showcase possibilities in the industry, the Future Energy Show Philippines, co-located live online with the Future Energy Show Vietnam, will gather the energy sector ecosystem in the region to discuss industry strategies, trends, and key innovations to help local energy stakeholders in their work to achieve the growth of renewable energy.
