Conference
Sessions across the three days of Megawatt Morocco
The conference runs inside the exhibition across the three days, included with a visitor badge. The programme follows what the Moroccan market is working through: how new generation is procured and financed, what the grid has to absorb, and how industrial sites secure their own supply.
Sessions are built as operator and developer case studies next to manufacturer and financier panels, because the specification, the finance and the installation are usually decided by three different organisations. Times, tracks and halls are published in the programme below and updated as speakers are confirmed.
Speaking enquiries go to the organising team; slots are open to utilities, developers, government, finance and research partners as well as to exhibitors.
