EDITORIAL

» Welcome to the 3rd Dii Desert Energy Conference!«

Three years ago the industrial initiative Dii was established to create and connect markets for electricity produced from the MENA deserts for the benefit of the local economies and Europe. This summer we presented our long-term strategic framework “Desert Power 2050”, compiled together with our 57 shareholders and partners from industrial companies, scientific associations and a significant number of partners in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe (EUMENA). The study clearly demonstrates that the abundant solar and wind resources in EUMENA make an integrated power supply system based almost exclusively on sun, wind and other renewable resources economically viable. With this in mind it is now time to step forward and work on the issue of how the transformation to a system powered mainly by renewable energy can be implemented with the support of all relevant stakeholders of the public and private domain. It is necessary to act immediately as the power plants and lines built in the next 20 years will influence the energy supply until 2050. Dii is currently focusing its activities in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia where the first Reference Projects are being defined which show and confirm that the Desertec vision is made reality. During the conference you will learn about the projects´ progress and challenges being faced. I strongly believe that an energy transition through collaboration, as proposed in “Desert Power 2050”, will create winners on all sides: the massive expansion of renewable energy and the relevant transmission grid structure will provide sustainable and secure power to a MENA region facing significant growth in population size and power demand. Europe too will benefit from cheaper and cleaner electricity. An integrated EUMENA power system will both encourage mutual reliance and lay the groundwork for a more expansive cooperation between Europe and MENA. I am looking forward to discussing these points with you during the next three days of the conference.

Join the Networking Dinner at Museum of Communication The 3rd Dii DESERT ENERGY CONFERENCE provides the opportunity to meet and exchange views with international experts concerned with the renewable energy sector. We believe that good communication is vital to every organization, every company, every community, and ultimately also to the realization of the Desertec vision.

For our networking dinner, we have chosen a place that is de- voted to the efficient dialogue with each other: the Museum for Communication in Berlin. The museum views itself as a place engagement, exchange and entertainment.

The museum focuses on the changing use of signs, codes and media, and the resulting changes in private and public life. The atmosphere in the atrium invites communication. Following dinner you will have the unique opportunity to participate in a guided tour through the treasure chamber. There, the museum presents precious exhibits which include the first telephone sets by Philipp Reis and the most famous postal stamps in the world, the Blue and Red Mauritius.

Enjoy!

SITE VISIT Site visit to the Berlin Wall Memorial

The 9th November is a historical date in Germany. In the night of Thursday, the 9th November 1989 the Berlin Wall, which had separated Germany into East and West for over 28 years, “fell“.

23 years later to the day, we invite you to visit the Berlin Wall Memorial, which is located at Bernauer Strasse.

Contemporary witnesses play an important role in the work of the memorial. First hand experiences of everyone who saw the Berlin Wall go up and who suffered from the division make the history vivid and easier to understand.

Between 1961 and 1989 this street was a focal point of Germany’s division. On the border strip located in the former East Berlin, an open-air exhibition uses the Bernauer Strasse part of the wall to explain the division. The memorial also includes the Monument in Memory of the Divided City and the Victims of Communist Tyran, the Window of Remembrance and the Chapel of Reconciliation.

On the former West Berlin side of the Bernauer Strasse one can view and visit the newly constructed Visitor Center and the Documentation Center which entails a viewing platform and an exhibition about August 1961 when the Berlin Wall was built. The visit includes a short documentary film. Join our tour to the Memorial and learn how the wall and its peaceful fall marked a new age in Germany which still inspires people throughout the whole world.
