EAI, India’s leading renewable energy support firm, is organizing a unique meet between EPCs and Developers of solar PV power plants. This is intended to be a facilitating/networking meet for these two key stakeholder segments, especially given that two states (AP and TN) will begin allotting utility scale SPV projects soon. And given that many states in India, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat & Kerala have announced ambitious rooftop plans.

The delegates, about 400 focussed industry professionals comprising project heads, top management and decision makers, will belong to both rooftop solar PV and grid connected solar PV segments.

The one day event will have a one hour presentation, two hour interactive discussion and a five-hour long, focussed networking session that will provide a rare opportunity for solar developers, EPCs, financial investors and other key solar sector stakeholders to interact with many important stakeholders in a professional setting. See details on the Networking Session below.

A 5 hour Detailed and Productive Networking Session During the 1st Meet

This will be held at Chennai, Mar 22, FRIDAY @ the Le Meridien Hotel, just 2 Kms from the Chennai airport

EAI coordinated the country’s three largest and most productive renewable energy conferences last year (RENERGY 2012 – 1300 delegates, REaction 2012 – 1500 delegates and Wind Power India 2012 – 800 delegates). EAI will ensure that the EPC-Developer-Financier Meet will become the most useful and productive meet for all the key stakeholders in this fast-growing industry. You will be able to interact and network with some of the most prominent EPCs, developers, equipment suppliers and financial investors in the country.

We expect over 400 delegates in all at the event – many prominent EPCs and developers, as well as from the panels/BoS suppliers, financing community, consulting firms, and certification companies. This will be the SINGLE LARGEST EPC-DEVELOPER MEET FOR SOLAR in India

• Will get to know critical insights on SPV power plant development from other developers and EPCs
• Understand the dos-and-donts while implementing solar power plants.
• Will also be able to network with many prominent EPCs at one place.

• For EPCs, this is an important opportunity to understand the key aspirations and concerns of the developer community.
• An excellent opportunity for them to build a good contact network with the developer community.

• The panel and BoS suppliers get to network with many prominent companies from their main customer segments – EPCs and power plant developers – all at one place, in just 6 hours.
