SMi Group announce inaugural Gas to Power conference, 1-2 February 2012

Oct. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- SMi Group’s inaugural Gas to Power conference provides a fantastic opportunity to learn from key industry leading experts addressing the key role of Gas in power generation, as a strategic tool in meeting the challenges of the environmental transformation of energy supplies. The gas network infrastructure is readily available, and our Gas to Power event will address how it can make a greater contribution.

It is important for the gas industry to understand the benefits of gas and power convergence. The industry may not understand the full value or role of its own assets in the current energy and climate change environment. Through convergence, gas can make a valuable contribution to energy efficiency.

This market-leading event will bring together key experts from organisations such as OFGEM, ENEL, Energinet.dk, IPSA Group, ESB International, Siemens, Wartsila, Poyry Energy, Storengy, and Addelshaw Goddard, through to the Association of Electricity Producer, plus many more. The conference will provide a fantastic networking opportunity for all those involved in the gas and power generation industry alike.
