Expert workshop on PV implementation in Brazil

Due to the late publication of the new Brazilian grid-feeding regulation, the RIO 12 - PV Expert Workshop is now on 10th of April 2012, so the regulation can be discussed in detail.

Location:
Hotel Novotel, Santos Dumont, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Language:
Portuguese and English

Background:
The Brazilian Government established a net-metering legislation for Photovoltaic Grid- Feeding in 2011 which will get into power in early 2012. That legislation - together with high levels of solar irradiance, elevated electricity prices, and a prospering population - sets the ground for a new, highly attractive market. The expert workshop in Rio de Janeiro on 10th of April 2012 will focus on the technical (grid connection requirements in particular), legislative, and administrative issues of PV-implementation in Brazil. The invited speakers are senior experts from the Brazilian energy program, the regulatory agency, import certification and customs. The target groups are investors, planners and installers.

Costs:
590.00 € or 775.00 US-$, including: Documentation, Coffee breaks, Lunch, Conference Dinner
Cost for simultaneous translation into German: 420.00 € or 555.00 US-$
