About the IWCS
For sixty years, the IWCS, a non-profit organization,
has presented the latest technologies in wire, cable
and connectivity. Now rebranded to reflect its expanded
scope the IWCS International Cable-Connectivity
Symposium remains the prestige venue for the
presentation of peer reviewed work in fields of wire,
cable and interconnected technology for the communi-
cations, data, electronics, power, industrial, automotive
and aerospace industries. In 2009, the topical scope
of the symposium program was broadened to include
the adjacent manufacturing segments of connectivity
and wiring harness products with the inclusion of
the IICIT (International Institute of Connector and
Interconnection Technology) Symposium with the
IWCS conference. Additional conference tracks,
professional development offerings, and exhibition
spotlights that target the interests and needs of
the interconnect community are planned for 2011.
For complete connectivity solutions, the International
Cable-Connectivity Symposium has no rivals.

SEPA
Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA),
consisting of America’s electric
utilities and solar companies,
has released a report revealing
that utilities are increasingly expanding
solar power generation portfolios,
and that most of these solar installments
are outside of California.
SEPA’s fourth annual Top 10 Utility Solar
Rankings, that analyzes utility solar
electricity markets in the United States,
found that utility integrated solar grew
100% in 2010 from 2009 figures. Of the Top
10 ranked utilities, seven are from outside
of California and contributing 561MW
of solar electric capacity.
SEPA’s annual rankings measure a utility’s
recently installed solar power and include
photovoltaic and concentrating solar
power technologies that were incorporated
between 1st January and 31st December
2010. The rankings are categorized
into ‘Solar Megawatts’ which measures
a utility’s total solar capacities and ‘Solar
Watts-per-Customer (w/c)’ which regulates
solar capacity by the size of the utility.
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), which
installed a further 157MW of solar power
capacity in 2010, topped the Solar
Megawatt ranking whilst its competitor,
Florida Power & Light Company, secured
second place with 82MW of added solar
capacity. The third spot was held
by New Jersey’s Public Service Electric
& Gas Co (PSEG), which added 75MW
of solar capacity in 2010.
The Solar Watts-per-Customer (w/c)
was topped by California’s Silicon Valley
Power, adding 40-watts per customer.
Report shows 100% growth in 2010
