The World Energy Council has recently published its annual World Energy Issues Monitor. Titled “Uproar in Energy – achieving commitments through community action”, the publication provides a forward-looking assessment of the global energy agenda based on the views of nearly 2,200 energy leaders from 91 countries.
Based on data collection carried out between November and December 2021, the report provides unique insight into what energy leaders perceived as the risks, opportunities and action priorities at a pivotal moment for the sector.
As Dr Angela Wilkinson, Secretary General of the World Energy Council noted: “Energy matters are now centre stage in a world of more digitally connected, politically contested, interdependent and diverse societies. This year’s edition of our World Energy Issues Monitor reflects increasing global uncertainty about the collective ability to manage a steady global energy transition, as rising energy costs and shifting geopolitics hinder leaders’ ability to find and scale solutions which meet demand for more sustainable energy and address climate change.”
Since the Issues Monitor release, the military conflict in Ukraine has triggered substantial additional disruptions to energy systems and markets worldwide.
In the first event of the European FEL of this year, Future Energy Leaders from across Europe will reflect on the Issues Monitor results for the Europe region and share their views on the developments that have since occurred. For these reflections, we are pleased to be joined by the following panellists:
- Thaddeus Anim-Somuah Engineering Manager Projects, Croda (Netherlands)
- Anna Dimitrova Head of Department, Energy Policy, Environment and Innovation, EVN Bulgaria (Bulgaria)
- Edgars Groza Head of Wind Park Development, Latvenergo AS (Latvia)
- Renata Viggiano Trader, Eni Trading and Shipping (Italy)
- Burak Yitgin Senior Specialist, Strategy Development, EPIAS (Turkey)
Following that, there will be opportunity for open exchange and discussion with all participants about critical uncertainties and action priorities for the energy sector going forward and how tools like the Issues Monitor can help our community members navigate the current environment.
