The Scottish Government is to co-host the World Energy Council’s Energy Trilemma Summit and 2022 Executive Assembly from 12-13 October in Aberdeen.
Adopting the theme “Transformational solutions in turbulent times”, the world’s oldest and preeminent energy community will discuss practical actions to accelerate clean and just energy transitions in all global regions, with special attention to transformational solutions that address the energy trilemma of security, affordability, and environmental sustainability.
These two notable events bring together the World Energy Council’s leadership and expert community from nearly 100 countries.
The event is part of the countdown to the Council’s centenary anniversary celebrating its remarkable 100-year track record of listening, learning and leading in energy since 1923, and the first World Power Conference in 1924 when Kilmarnock entrepreneur Daniel Nicol Dunlop founded the world’s first, permanent energy organisation that could transcend national politics.
“The world is in crisis, and this is a significant moment in energy,” said Angela Wilkinson, Secretary General and CEO, World Energy Council.
“Our world energy community is convening in person, in Aberdeen, to forge a new energy narrative which pulls new and more diverse energy interests together.
“Accelerating clean and just energy transitions in all world regions is essential and best progressed with transformational solutions that empower people to manage all three dimensions of the World Energy Trilemma – energy security, equity and affordability, and environmental sustainability, at all levels of society.”
