Congress Mission

At no time in modern history has energy played a more crucial role in the development and well-being of nations than at present. The source and nature of energy, the security of supply and the equity of distribution, the environmental impact of energy production and utilization, are all matters that must be addressed by suppliers, consumers, governments, industry, academia, and financial institutions.

The World Renewable Energy Congress (WREC), is the premier forum for networking among these sectors. The Congress addresses these issues through the organization of a regular meeting and exhibition that brings together representatives from countries around the world to discuss the development of energy sources that are secure, sustainable, accessible and economically viable.

WREC enables policy makers, researchers, manufacturers, economists, financiers, government officials and others to present their views in plenary and technical sessions and to participate in discussions, both formal and informal, thus enabling the transfer of knowledge between nations. Following the Congress, WREC facilitates the dissemination of the latest achievements in policy, research and applications through its publications and Web site.

WREC 2005 will be held in Aberdeen, Scotland. Learn More....
