We are stakeholder-focused and work across and in support of the energy communities regardless of country, sector, region, resource, or technology.
Together, we drive impact and progress successful energy transitions.
Our national Member Committees are at the heart of the Council and lead the energy dialogue at regional and local levels, enabling strategic dialogue and effective collaboration between government, business, and other stakeholders. They ensure that knowledge, expertise, and insights are shared, facilitating the connections that are accelerating successful energy transitions worldwide.
