Our Mission

“To promote the sustainable supply and use of energy for the greatest benefit of all people.”

Since 1923, we have been engaging energy leaders throughout the world to meet whole energy system challenges.

We define, enable and accelerate successful energy transitions while maintaining a technology and resource neutral global perspective and through the widespread use of a flexible Transition Leadership Toolkit, insight, interactive events and dynamic platforms to delivery strategic moments of impact.

The Council has embarked on a journey with a fresh focus on collaborative innovation, which is not only about new technologies, but requires system-wide collaboration to unlock exponential growth opportunities and successfully manage energy transitions at all scales.

We are a global energy transition platform, pulling together the different parts of intelligent leadership, we catalyse smart and informed dialogue. Most of all, we try and curate new experiences which are fundamental to having the practical knowledge to actually move the needle on secure, affordable and inclusive energy transition.

A worldwide energy network

The true strength of the World Energy Council comes from its network of over 3,000 member organisations in around 90 countries

The Council is the world’s leading member-based global energy network and the only truly international and impartial energy organisation. We are independent and non-political, working dynamically across the whole energy sector.

We are member-driven, stakeholder-focused and work across and in support of the energy communities regardless of country, sector, region, resource, or technology.

The World Energy Council has developed an interactive tool – The World Energy Issues Monitor. The Monitor is an annual reality check of 2,000+ leaders worldwide focusing on the challenges of energy transition.

The maps present the key energy issues, regional and local variances, and how these have changed over time. The tool allows the preparation of different maps for comparison. You can manipulate data by geography, time or by highlighting specific energy issues.

This tool can be used by energy leaders, shapers and innovators to understand regional perspective about national and global energy transitions. The Issues Monitor tool provides a window to the issues, concerns and action priorities that global energy leaders are focused on.
