Speaking on the announcement of the 13^th edition of Renewable Energy India, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director for Informa Markets in India said, “Our country has an installed power generating capacity of 356.100 gigawatts as of 31st March 2019 and over the last five years, India put up a 99.21 GW of additional capacity, generating 1.2 trillion units of electricity each year. And while India still maintains its trailblazing reputation in the renewable energy sector, in recent times, the relatively steadfast nature of the industry has been overtaken by dynamism and transformations lately. In such a scenario, it is crucial to keep pace and build an ecosystem of innovation and adaptation to change. An array of new trends is being seen, such as the rise of floating solar and e-mobility, increased fragmentation with participation from smaller players as well thereby encouraging the rise of the domestic manufacturers. A renowned and reputed expo like the REI is just the vehicle needed to explore these new trends and opportunities and propel the further growth of the sector.”

The trade show will also be preceded by the 5th Renewable Energy India Awards, slated for 19^th September, 2019 that aims to recognise the efforts, innovation, and excellence and promote the talent in the industry. The Awards will have an august audience of industry stalwarts competing under various categories from both manufacturing & implementing communities.
