| EPIA promoting Feed in Tariffs in Florida (3 February 2009 - Tallahassee, Florida - USA) |
| Date: 11-Jan-2009 |
After the implementation of the Federal Investment Tax Credit last quarter and in the very promising green stimulus plans of President Obama, Gainesville (Florida, USA) will be the first municipality to introduce a Feed in Tariff Policy in the United States.
The Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy (FARE), with support from the Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) and the Alliance for Renewable Energy (ARE) has invited EPIA to participate to a conference on “Effective Renewable Energy Policies: Stimulating Job Creation, Long Term Investments, and Improving Energy Security” featuring discussions on Feed in Tariffs, Net Metering and Rebates on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009 in Tallahassee, Florida.
The focus of the conference is the deployment of renewable energy in Florida resulting in jobs and energy security. Experts from around the world and participants from various stakeholder organisations will discuss policies to stimulate vast investment in renewable energy to increase energy security and job creation in Florida. Building on Governor Crist’s vision of 20% renewables by 2020, this event will provide first hand experiences from Florida, other states and European countries on what policies are most effective in achieving renewable targets.
An EPIA delegation including Dr. Murray Cameron, Chief Operating Officer from Phoenix Solar and Vice-President of EPIA, Detlef Rogall, Corporate Strategy & Business Development from Phoenix Solar, Boris Schubert, President of Q-Cells International USA Corp., Dr. Sebastian Canadell, International Director and CEO of Isofoton distribution and Poly companies, Juergen Krehnke, President of SMA America, and Adel El Gammal, Secretary General of EPIA will attend the event and take the opportunity to meet with high level decision makers from Florida, such as the Governors Energy & Climate Office, the Public Service Commission, the Chamber of Commerce, and Legislative Committees interested in energy and economic development. The objective of these meetings is to better understand Florida as a potential market and begin formulating concrete plans, and to discuss with key officials on how they can replicate or even surpass the investment and jobs growth of solar power (both in speed and scale) experienced by Germany, Spain, and other European countries in recent years and ultimately, support the Gainesville initiative as a case model to be widely replicated throughout the United States.

| SET For 2020: Establishing the Solar Europe Initiative (11 February 2009, Brussels, Belgium) |
| Date: 10-Jan-2009 |
On 22 November 2007, the European Commission proposed a Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan including the setting of a Solar Europe Initiative (SEI), to be defined by the European Photovoltaic (PV) Industry. In Spring 2009, the EU Heads of State will endorse officially the 6 industrial initiatives included within the SET Plan.
The conference proposed by EPIA and the EU PV Technology Platform will present the objectives and the priorities in the Policy, Technology and Communication fields defined by the Photovoltaic Industry. These priorities will be key towards the establishment of the Solar Europe Initiative.
This event will take place in the frame of the European Union Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW 2009).
For further information or registration, please visit the EUSEW website:www.eusew.eu
The event is jointly organized by EPIA and the European Photovoltaic Technology Platform.

| Photovoltaic Network Integration: Challenges and Opportunities (13 February 2009, Brussels, Belgium) |
| Date: 9-Jan-2009 |
Different European Utilities and stakeholders from the energy sector will present the challenges and opportunities which they are currently facing in their respective countries with increasing numbers of PV distributed systems. The added value of Solar Photovoltaic electricity to the peak power supply will be presented by the PV industry through European studies carried out by ISET and IEA PVPS and EU PV Projects such SUNRISE and PV UPSCALE.
The overall aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for a constructive dialogue between the PV industry and the utilities on how the integration of solar photovoltaic systems into the European Electricity supply can be managed in a win-win situation for all parties.
This event will take place in the frame of the European Union Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW 2009).
For further information or registration, please visit the EUSEW website:www.eusew.eu
This event will be organized within the framework of the SUNRISE project, financed by the EC / DG TREN.
