EVENT UPDATE– “Saudi Nuclear New Build Summit” has been re-scheduled to take place on 25th & 26th of March 2015, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
We at Konseptos delightfully announce the launch of the first Nuclear Summit called “Saudi Nuclear New Build Summit”.
Since Saudi Arabia has plans to create a domestic nuclear industry in anticipation of high growth in domestic energy consumption, our summit would be one of the means to support for this establishment.
The development of atomic energy is essential to meet the Kingdom’s growing requirements for energy to generate electricity, produce desalinated water and reduce reliance on depleting hydrocarbon resources. The Nation plans to expedite the process of building two nuclear reactors by 2020, and have sixteen built by 2030. The governments’ intent is to supplement domestic production, to free up further oil for export and create a sustainable atmosphere for the current fossil fuel resources. Currently Saudi Arabia produces 52 GW from 79 power plants. Saudi Arabia intends to achieve maximum available production to 110 GW by 2032.
The Saudi Nuclear energy program is the second most advanced program in the region next to United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia is working towards building a number of nuclear reactors in the near future and has decided to collaborate with France to develop those for peaceful application of nuclear energy. Saudi Nuclear New Build Summit will focus on advancing an effective and safe nuclear energy development program for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, encouraging dialogue between potential asset owners, policy makers and solution providers. The summit will intend to achieve consensus on technologies, investments and policies which will drive the Saudi Arabian Energy program for the next two decades.
