Mission Statement
At no time in modern history has energy played a more crucial role in the develop-ment 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 its supply and utilization, are all crucial matters to be addressed by suppliers, con-sumers, governments, industry, academia, and financial institutions.
The World Renewable Energy Congress (WREC), a major recognised forum for networking between these sectors, ad-dresses these issues through regular meet-ings and exhibitions, bringing together representatives of all those involved in the supply, distribution, consumption and development of energy sources which are benign, sustainable, accessible and eco-nomically viable. WREC enables policy makers, researchers, manufacturers, econo-mists, financiers, sociologists, environmen-talists and others to present their views in Plenary and Technical Sessions and to participate in discussions, both formal and informal, thus facilitating the transfer of knowledge between nations, institutions, disciplines and individuals.
