Accounting for 35% of Latin America's GDP and 55% of the region's exports, the Pacific Alliance is emerging as the most exciting economic group in the region, demonstrating commitment to open markets, private investment, and rule of law facilitating commercial and economic integration. The World Bank predicts that electricity consumption in Latin America will more than double between 2010 and 2030 and a combined need of over US$200 billion of investment is required to move forward power development projects. Speaking about country's first-ever private auction, Mexico's Deputy Electricity Minister, Cesar Emiliano Hernandez who confirmed his presence at the Growing Economies Energy Forum, says "the contracts are expected to generate more than $2bn in investment by 2018".
Co-located with the world's largest global conference for Africa's energy and infrastructure sectors, the Africa Energy Forum, the Growing Economies Energy Forum will bring together 2,000+ credible investors and developers from 82 countries that specialise in growing and emerging markets. It will also showcase the scale of the opportunity in other exciting electricity markets such as Myanmar, Pakistan and Iran, inviting senior public and private sector representatives to discuss investment opportunities.
Simon Gosling of EnergyNet commented, "This is an unbelievable opportunity for electricity starved economies to tap into an extraordinary pool of the world's most experienced power developers and investors, such as the DFIs who all have a large presence at the forum - if government are serious about solving their energy issues, there is no better place to start. It is also quite an exciting proposition for our long standing partners to quickly understand the scale of the opportunities arising in Myanmar, Iran, Pakistan, Peru, Chile, Colombia and Mexico - I've certainly not experienced a meeting with such a diverse gathering of countries all seeking common solutions."
