World Energy Council

The World Energy Council is a global forum for thought-leadership and tangible engagement with headquarters in London.

He wanted to gather experts from all around the world to discuss current and future energy issues.

The meeting was a success and the participants decided on 11 July 1924 to establish a permanent organisation named World Power Conference.

Formed in 1923, the Council is the UN-accredited[4] global energy body, representing the entire energy spectrum, with more than 3,000 member organisations located in over 90 countries and drawn from governments, private and state corporations, academia, NGOs and energy-related stakeholders.

The 2019 edition took place in Abu Dhabi from 9–12 September, where it was announced that Saint Petersburg will be the host city for the next World Energy Congress in 2022.
