International Renewable Energy Conference is a meeting of senior-level representatives from the Executive and Legislative branches of government at the national and subnational level, international organizations, the finance and business community, and civil society who are working to advance the integration of renewable energy in their countries.

History

Initiated at the renewables2004 conference in Bonn, IREC is a high-level political conference series dedicated to renewable energy policy worldwide. Dedicated exclusively to the renewable energy sector, IRECs are hosted by alternate Governments every two years and convened by REN21.

One of the major accomplishments of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa, was the recognition that renewable energy is a critical component of sustainable development, energy security, climate change, and air quality.

Worldwide enthusiasm for renewable energy has increased dramatically since WSSD.

Bonn

The Bonn Renewable Energy Conference in 2004 was the inaugural, government-hosted international conference on renewable energy. 154 countries attended the Bonn Conference, which produced 3 outcomes:

A Political Declaration containing shared political goals for an increased role of renewable energies and reflecting a joint vision of a sustainable energy future that provides better and more equitable access to energy as well as increased energy efficiency.
An International Action Program of voluntary commitments to goals, targets, and actions within their own spheres of responsibility from governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders.
Policy Recommendations for Renewable Energies that can be of benefit to governments, international organizations, and stakeholders as they develop new approaches and political strategies and address the roles and responsibilities of key actors.

Beijing

The 2005 conference was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing from 7-8 November 2005.

Washington

The Washington International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC 2008) was held March 4-6, 2008.

New Delhi

The Delhi International Renewable Energy Conference (DIREC 2010) was held 27-29 October 2010, in New Delhi, India.

Abu Dhabi

The 2013 conference was held in Abu Dhabi in January 2013.

South Africa

In October 2015, South Africa became the sixth country, and the first in Africa, to host

the International Renewable Energy Conference (IREC). The South African

International Renewable Energy Conference – SAIREC 2015 – provided a global

platform for government ministers, high-level decision makers, experts, specialists and

thought leaders, as well as private sector players and civil society, to discuss and

exchange their vision, experiences and solutions to accelerate the global scale-up of

renewable energy.

From 4-7 October South Africa welcomed 3,600 delegates from more than 80 countries.

This international event comprised 24 conference sessions featuring more than 150

speakers, 41 side events, 35 technical site visits and 56 exhibitors, providing extensive

opportunities for delegates to discuss, learn and network.

SAIREC provided a platform to address energy security and access. Under the theme

of RE-Energising Africa, SAIREC demonstrated why Africa is the business destination

for the renewables energy sector. It also provided Africa with a unique opportunity to

showcase its nascent yet promising renewable energy industry and gain experience

from best practices as adopted in countries at the forefront of renewable energy

deployment.

In parallel REN21 launched the SADC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Status

Report, which provides a comprehensive overview of the status of renewable energy

and energy efficiency in the region. It covers the 15 SADC countries: Angola,

Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi,

Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, United Republic

of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The report is available for download on the REN21

website along with a series of infographics.

SAIREC was co-hosted by South Africa’s Department of Energy together with the South

African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI), under the leadership of the

Minister of Energy, Honorable Ms Tina Joemat-Pettersson (MP), with REN21 and with

the final support of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and

Development, GIZ. See the REN21 website for the conference report, full Declaration

text, and photos

Mexico City

The renewable energy community came together in Mexico City mid-September under

the banner of the International Renewable Energy Conference (IREC). The Mexico

International Renewable Energy Conference (MEXIREC) was the 7th in this conference

series, continuing the tradition of convening government and non-state actors around

the development of renewable energy policy.

MEXIREC’s agenda was designed to encourage a systems approach to energy where

the generation and use of renewable energy are analysed from an integrated and

multifaceted perspective. The conference demonstrated how this diversification is

occurring, not only in Latin American and the Caribbean but elsewhere in the world.

Over the course of two days, more than 1,600 delegates participated in talks and

presentations that revolved around five thematic areas: Policy and Finance; Electricity

Sector and Infrastructure; Heating and Cooling/Transport; Energy Access/Local Value

Creation; and Technology Innovations. The presence and active participation of young

professionals and women was particularly encouraging. It ended with presentation and

acceptance of the Conference Declaration.

In parallel a new report, Renewable Energy Tenders and Community [Em]power[ment]:

Latin America and the Caribbean was launched. The bi-lingual report (English/Spanish)

examines both the rise of tendering and community power projects in the region and

proposes an accession process to reconcile the tension between maximising economic

returns and social impact.

MEXIREC was the leading event of the “Dialogues for the Future of Energy, Mexico

2017” (DEMEX). It was held 11-13 September, 2017 at the Expo Santa Fe Convention

Center, Mexico City and co-organised by SENER and REN21 will the support of the

German government. See the REN21 website for the conference report, full Declaration

text, photos and much more.

South Korea

IREC 2019 will be held in South Korea. Korea’s ambition to

phase out nuclear and coal and to increase levels of renewable energy in its national

energy mix were key determining factors in its selection. The conference is scheduled

for 23-26 October, 2019 in Seoul.

Official side events

Official Side Events are a forum for non-governmental, governmental, and/or inter-governmental partners to showcase their projects/programs in front of a high level public and private sector audience.
