DPE, the new Italian Exhibition Group expo, is being held at Rimini Expo Centre from 5th to 8th November, simultaneously with Ecomondo and Key Energy: companies’ opinions.

The world of energy and its safe efficient management is now enriched with a new international appointment: DPE - Distributed Power Europe, the event dedicated to “power generation” being held at Rimini Expo Centre from 5th to 8th November. Organized by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), it will be held simultaneously with Ecomondo, the expo of green technologies and circular economy, and Key Energy, the fair of renewable energy and energy efficiency. 

DPE - Distributed Power Europe made its debut on the international scene with a preview presentation in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, on the occasion of MEE, Middle East Electricity 2019, the sector’s historic event, which for 44 years has brought together the world’s major producers and this year was dedicated to product innovation in the generation, distribution, storage and use of energy.

Among the companies that took part in the preview in Dubai there were numerous innovative firms that have already confirmed their participation in DPE 2019 and will contribute to making the IEG event a complete showcase for technology and components of power generators, for applications for continuous power supplies, the means for producing decentralised energy when there is no grid and peak shaving.  

Mario Carraro, Managing Director of Mecc Alte, an international group manufacturing avant-garde alternators, sustains, “DPE 2019 is an initiative that intends meeting the need to join forces and bring to an international showcase the best intelligence, products and service that European industry is able to field. This is why Mecc Alte has decided to take part in DPE right from its first edition.”
Carraro adds: “The power generation industry has always considered the entire Mediterranean area - and Italy in particular – as an important player on the global market. The Italian industry chain, from components to turnkey installations, stands out for competitiveness and passion. Values that must be shared, to be able to cover the final mile over the distance of global competition. Thanks to the high-level meetings and conferences being held at DPE, we shall have the possibility of assessing the competitiveness of our companies on the continually evolving international market.”

Marco Monsurrò, Managing Director of Coelmo, which since 1946 has specialized in the design and manufacture of industrial and marine generating sets covering a range from 3 to 3000 kVA, was also in Dubai and stresses how DPE is an extraordinary opportunity to attract interest in the sector once again and join forces. He recalls, “The gap left when Intel expos ended in Milan in the early 2000s, only partly filled by other events, greatly penalized European and Italian industry and trade members.

Through the years, the distributed electricity continuity sector’s Italian business community has taken part in various expos, but has never managed to achieve a united profile.” Now, “DPE definitely represents an excellent opportunity to once more attract interest to the Italian and European, mechanical, electromechanical and electronic sectors, linked with distributed electricity generation, enabling potential clients to re-approach the country of origin of production. I hope the sector’s companies become even more united and dedicate budget and resources to the growth of DPE”.

At DPE it will be possible to find a wide range of the latest technological innovations in Italy and Europe, also including components and product categories such as alternators, motors, panels, casing and storage systems.

DPE - Distributed Power Europe is the expo tailor-made for power generation trade and industry members, in the sectors: energy (solar, wind, cogeneration, biogas, oil & gas); infrastructures and transport (railways, airports, sea maritime); real estate, residential and commercial constructions, facility management; industry, health, emergencies. The new event involves qualified professional players including specialized contractors and EPC - engineering procurement construction companies, energy plant managers, work-site managers, installers, distributors and importers.The first edition, which will feature the participation of numerous Italian and international trade/industry members, will be completed by a busy agenda dedicated to meetings and in-depth coverage of the sector’s issues. These will be held in the agora set up in Hall B6 (East entrance).
