Nairobi is set to host more than 40 countries for the third edition of Powerelec Kenya, the international solar and energy exhibition, from November 10 to 12 at the Sarit Expo Centre.
The exhibition will bring together manufacturers, distributors, investors, trade delegations and policymakers across solar, energy storage, electric mobility and power engineering.
Visitors will see latest technology in photovoltaics, battery storage, power generation and EV charging infrastructure. Organisers say the focus will be on technology transfer, business collaboration and market expansion.
