MESIA President, Hadi Tahboub, has expressed his association’s full support for the partnership, saying that they will be promoting and providing content for the Solar, Water & Power Buyers’ Guide 2016. He said: “This partnership between MESIA and CPI Industry to produce a global guide that highlights the Who’s Who in the global solar energy scene is a further indication of the growing momentum of the solar energy industry coming out of the Middle East. Today, this guide is inclusive of the solar, water and power market sectors; yet, once the roof top solar regulations spread out beyond just Dubai, to the Northern Emirates and even Abu Dhabi, we expect to have in a year or two a fully separate Middle East Solar Energy Guide, let alone a global one. Of course, this is separate from also having the guide being inclusive of solar thermal energy companies, ranging from utility-scale CSP developers, to roof top solar water heaters. I look forward to sharing this guide book with our members’ community soon.”

“We, at CPI Industry, are delighted for the support of MESIA of this initiative,” said Frederic Paille, Managing Director of CPI Industry. “And its timing also seems to be highly appropriate given the recent surge of solar projects in the region; projects which can be highlighted thanks to this publication.”
