2014

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) co-organised the 2nd International Off-grid Renewable Energy Conference and Exhibition (IOREC) in Manila, Philippines on the 16-17 of June 2014.

Following the success of its first edition in Accra, Ghana, in 2012, IOREC expanded its role as a global platform that promotes dialogue between stakeholders, in particular the public and private sector, in promoting off-grid renewable energy deployment to extend electricity access in rural and peri-urban areas.

The Conference convened over 400 key stakeholders from across the off-grid renewable energy value chain, including representatives from rural electrification agencies, ministries in charge of renewable energy development, the private sector, academia, financing institutions and international organisations.
