World Energy Congress

Our team is on the ground at #ADIPEC this week, ready to connect. For over a century, the World Energy Congress has brought the global energy ecosystem together, linking insights from the Middle East and beyond to create real-world impact. Our mission is to facilitate learning from each other, driving energy transitions that are faster, fairer, and more far-reaching worldwide. 📅 Mark your calendars for the next World Energy Congress, 26-29 October 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 🌐 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/e7iyBVHE.   Attending ADIPEC this week? Reach out to Simon Marshall at sponsorship@worldenergy.org to explore ways you can be part of the vital discussions about inspiring transformations and delivering transitions at World Energy Congress 2026. #WEC2026 #ADIPEC #EnergyTransformation #DigitalTechnologies #CleanTechnology

Dr. Angela Wilkinson, the World Energy Council Secretary General and CEO, joined an inspiring panel of global innovators to envision the world in 2030 at the #FII8 closing ceremony, reminding us that the journey to a resilient energy future will be collaborative, innovative, and multi-dimensional.   Her call for a transformative leadership mindset – one that’s adaptable, inclusive, and rooted in real solutions for sustainable energy transitions – is critical as we face the volatile impacts of climate change and drive forward toward #NetZero.   Looking forward to seeing these discussions continue at the World Energy Congress 2026 in Riyadh – an opportunity to deepen the dialogue on global energy transformation.

Since 1923, the World Energy Congress has been at the forefront of convening global energy leaders to shape an inclusive and transformational energy leadership agenda. For more than 100 years, we have joined diverse perspectives, catalysed new impact communities, and facilitated effective leadership learning across government, business, and society to make faster, fairer, and more far reaching energy transitions happen.    In 2019, our 24th Congress in Abu Dhabi was the first held in the Middle East. This landmark event explored transformational pathways for energy transitions, creating new business opportunities and enriching lives globally.   Today, as we look to the next Congress, taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2026, we continue to connect visionary thinking with practical action, delivering a better energy future for billions of lives and a healthier planet.

The city of Nantes is embracing emission-free electric buses, and in this short film from Series 2 of "Humanising Energy" produced by BBC StoryWorks for the World Energy Council, a driver shares why he's excited about the change. 🌍🔋 The video showcases how innovative solutions are advancing the electric future. At the 26th World Energy Congress, we explored the theme of Navigating New Energy Maps, focusing on the pathways to accelerate global energy transitions. Join us at the next World Energy Congress, 26-29 October 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as we continue these vital conversations on how smart innovations can drive faster, fairer, and more impactful energy transitions. #HumanisingEnergy #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #WEC2026 #Innovation #ClimateSolutions #ElectricVehicles #ClimateWeekNYC

The impact of wind turbines goes beyond just producing renewable energy. The social impact of such a project in creating new employment opportunities cannot be underestimated. ENGIE Brasil's projects are working with the local community to leverage new technologies, create new jobs and tackle climate change.                                                  This short film is part of "Humanising Energy" series, produced by BBC StoryWorks for the World Energy Council.                                        At the 26th World Energy Congress, we explored the theme Refuelling the Future, focusing on diverse energy sources, solutions, and services. We discussed the role of renewable power systems in reshaping global energy vectors and value chains.   Join us at the next World Energy Congress, on 26-29 October 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as we continue to discuss how smart innovations can drive faster, fairer, and more impactful energy transitions.

Energy transitions have the potential to completely transform structural, gender and intergenerational inequalities, and this social transformation has been a key part of the World Energy Council’s agenda. We were the first to connect energy access and women’s equity in the 1930s. Our Women In Energy programmes, first started in Chile, bringing women working across the energy sector together in an ever growing network of young professionals to better understand the challenges and demands they face. Our Portuguese Member Committee (Associação Portuguesa da Energia)’s Women in Energy programme facilitates connections between women energy experts across the industry. Congratulations on a successful networking event! #WorldEnergyCongress #WEC2026 #RoadToRiyadh

🌍 Last week, our team attended the World Nuclear Symposium in London. Our collaboration with this key industry segment was first established after the Second World War and formalised in 1950, when the Council (then World Power Congress) convened to discuss the utilisation of atomic energy for industrial and domestic purposes, leading to the formation of the Atomic Energy Committee. A few years later, in 1954, then Chairman Vincent de Ferranti foregrounded the importance of nuclear energy for the development of the organisation, asserting the World Power Conference as the appropriate platform following U.S. President Eisenhower’s suggestion of an international conference on the peaceful use of atomic power. He famously noted that the WPC ‘really ought to be at the centre of these developments, which will have such importance for the future.’ Fast forward to today, the World Energy Council is driving the conversation on transitioning to a clean and just energy future. The critical role of nuclear energy will be part of the agenda at the next World Energy Congress in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 26-29 October 2026, where we’ll explore how smart innovations can accelerate more inclusive and sustainable energy transitions. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gU5Zrz8X #EnergyTransition #WorldEnergyCongress #NuclearEnergy #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #WEC2026 #nuclearsympo
