Dear Members, Associates and Friends,

I would like to invite you to join us and participate in the third annual GeoPower Europe Conference and Exhibitionin Milan, Italy.

Challenged by climate changes and the need to secure sustainable economic growth and social cohesion, Europe mustachieve a genuine energy revolution to reverse unsustainable trends and realise ambitious policy expectations. Arational, consistent and far sighted approach to electricity supply is critical to ensure such transformation.

Geothermal is the only source of renewable energy capable of driving such consistent and reliable electricity generation 24h per day, 365 days peryear and the resource represents 25 billion times the world annual energy consumption; an almost unlimited and renewable source of energy. Thisheat flux from the earth to the atmosphere if not harvested is otherwise lost.

As geothermal energy is available everywhere, local geothermal electricity production also reduces reliance on imports from unreliable suppliers.

EGEC would like to emphasise the fact that geothermal will be key for an optimal energy mix. The geothermal sector calls on nationalgovernments and European Institutions to:

• Invest in R&D to deploy EGS and bring down the cost of EGS plants

• Adopt a Feed-in-Tariff suitable for EGS development

• Create a European Risk Insurance Scheme; to mitigate the geological risk

These topics and many more will be discussed and debated in detail at the conference in Milan with particular focus on the commerciality crucialto securing the investment that will fund the next phase of geothermal R&D. In addition, as Africa, Asia and South America develop their ownresources we’ll hear from the individuals leading those markets to share their expertise and debate global implications.

We look forward to meeting you at GeoPower Europe 2011 as we work together to drive geothermal energy from fledgling market to establishedindustry with the capacity to help meet Europe’s energy needs.

With an outstanding line-up of world leading speakers and exhibitors, the 2011 congress will be more important than ever in setting the agenda forthe future of our industry.

Your Sincerely

Philippe DUMAS, Manager, European Geothermal Energy Council
