Conference organiser Richard Teasdale commented: “PowerEx Live North 2023 offered a wide spectrum of UK professionals the perfect networking opportunities for meeting their counterparts in CHP, Genset, Data Centre, Statistics, Noise and Energy Systems and Consultancy markets based in the north.” Amongst the speakers at the Conference, the ever-popular Romain Mocaer of Powergen Statistics spoke on the 2023-2024 European Generator Market: Impact of the gas crisis and Ukrainian conflict on the generator market.

Paul Smethurst gave his key perspective on DATA CENTRES - “Powering improved Data centre operation and efficiency”. He provided the audience with insights into why gensets are key to operating the IT load and more importantly how to prevent losing the critical load being a total Data Centre disaster.

Clinton Noble, Senior Sales Manager –Finning – spoke about Large Electric Power Sustainability in the power generation industry. He examined the varying options there are to combat the market’s restraints, demand and growth. He also explained about alternative fuels, what’s possible now and about the likely options in the future.
