As someone working in energy sector, I attended MEE this year and it was truly impressive. The new Kirloskar generator could solve many power issues in remote areas. Dubai continues to lead in hosting world-class energy events.

While the event sounds successful, I wish there was more focus on local energy solutions rather than just exports. The 600 million without electricity in Africa need immediate solutions, not just future projects.
