International Energy Week 2025

Navigating the world’s energy transitions

We live in an energy hungry world. Energy consumption overall, fossil fuel use and their associated greenhouse gas emissions are all rising. So too is the amount of power generated from clean energy, in particular wind and solar, but barely enough to even meet growing demand. The Paris Agreement is still out of reach and devastating climate impacts are unfolding across all continents.

But this global picture masks diverse energy and emission journeys.

• Geographically, in advanced economies, renewables are growing fast, and fossil fuel demand is peaking, while in the Global South, growing populations and living standards continue to drive fossil fuel demand.
• Sectorally, change is accelerating in areas like light passenger transport and heating, where low carbon electric vehicles and heat pumps are increasingly competitive. But transition is slower where emissions are harder to abate, such as aviation and shipping, iron and steel and process industries.

Ultimately there is just one interconnected global energy system, one net zero, and one shared planet.

International Energy Week 2025 bridges these transitions, with a programme focused on fundamental questions.

• What does peak fossil fuel consumption mean for Europe and North America, and how realistically can economies in China, India, and the Global South follow suit?
• Are the barriers to decarbonisation in hard-to-abate sectors only about technology, or must we also address serious policy and market failures?
• How can major energy businesses hold firm on vital clean energy commitments in the face of countervailing short-term pressures?

Convened by the Energy Institute’s sector experts and informed by the EI Statistical Review of World Energy, this is the global energy sector’s first major meeting of the year. And it takes place for the first time in its new, prestigious home, the QEII Centre in the heart of London.

Building on the renowned legacy of IP Week, the conference brings together senior figures from across the energy industry, investors, government, academia, and NGOs. It’s where the latest strategic thinking, intelligence, and opportunities are shared, and collaboration happens. From policy and regulation to finance and governance, from energy efficiency and shifting demand, to capability, people, and skills.

Over three days of high-profile keynotes, panel discussions, and networking, and culminating in the prestigious International Energy Week dinner and awards ceremony, the week attracts more than 1,000 delegates from around the globe.

It is the essential annual fixture for those leading on corporate strategy, business development, and technological innovation, those wanting to retain a competitive edge, and anyone seeking insight into the great energy challenges facing humanity and once-in-a-generation energy transition opportunities.
