ABOUT IFT ENERGY 2012
Chile, and indeed much of Latin America, has been growing and modernizing at a remarkable pace. To maintain this growth, the region requires evermore energy to power its industries, cities and homes. But there are significant challenges to overcome and difficult questions to ask:
In a region that is dependant on hydroelectric power, what do you do during a drought?
How do you move power between areas that have it and areas that need it, without spoiling one of the most pristine environments in the world?
How can Latin American economies continue to grow when expansion of the energy supply is falling behind?
Is nuclear power a choice in an active seismic region?
When oil plays a key role in electrical generation, what can you do about fluctuating oil prices?
Is there a way to deliver less-costly electricity to consumers, while at the same time, continuing to invest in modernizing the system?
With such a wide choice of potential energy sources, how do you prioritize which ones to pursue?
Should more effort go to increasing capacity, or increasing efficiency?
IFT ENERGY 2012 - Exhibition and Conference is a professional trade event designed to assemble the world’s best manufacturers and service providers to present Latin America with a complete range of innovative, sustainable, technological solutions to help efficiently and effectively generate, transmit, and deliver affordable electrical power where it is needed now, and will be needed in the future.
