Conventional
Conventional fossil fuel-powered generation is now, and will remain the lions share of the generation mix for decades to come. The latest Energy Information Administration’s short term energy outlook predicts that fossil-fueled power plants will continue to deliver over 65% of the U.S. energy mix through 2050. POWERGEN’s exhibitor lineup features everyone from the largest OEMs through to the smallest component manufacturers across the coal and natural gas supply chain.
Renewables
We are committed to covering future electric power markets and technologies. We’re focused on educating the entire power market on renewables and their roles in the future. POWERGEN serves as a forum for utilities and developers to learn and converse about the entire energy mix, all within one event.
Cogeneration and On-Site Power
POWERGEN raises awareness of cogeneration, onsite and distributed generation and their roles in the overall generation industry. It will continue to focus on reciprocating engines, emphasizing natural gas, hydrogen, diesel, biogas and other fuel sources.
