International Energy Week 2026 London: Growth and Security in a Disordered Transition
As the first major global energy summit following COP30, International Energy Week 2026 (IEW 2026) arrives at a defining moment for the industry. Taking place from February 10–12, 2026, at the QEII Centre in London, this flagship event—organized by the Energy Institute—brings together over 1,500 senior delegates to navigate the “Twin Challenge” of soaring global demand and the urgent mandate for decarbonization.
The 2026 Theme: Growth and Security
Under the theme “Growth and Security in an Increasingly Disordered Energy Transition,” IEW 2026 moves beyond high-level pledges to focus on practical execution. With geopolitics fracturing global supply chains and the rapid electrification of the global economy, the summit provides a roadmap for maintaining grid resilience while scaling low-carbon infrastructure.
Technical Deep-Dive & Programme Highlights
The three-day conference is structured to address the most pressing technical and strategic shifts in the energy landscape:
Decarbonizing the “Hard-to-Abate”: Intensive sessions on the commercialization of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and the role of Hydrogen in industrial heat.
AI x Energy Evolution: A core focus for 2026 is the integration of Agentic AI in terminal operations and the sourcing of sustainable energy to power the global data center explosion.
Asset Integrity & Risk: Technical workshops focused on maintaining aging oil and gas infrastructure while transitioning assets for carbon or hydrogen storage.
Energy Sovereignty: High-level panels featuring CEOs from Shell, bp, Ørsted, and ENGIE exploring how nations can attain energy independence without derailing net-zero goals.
The International Energy Awards
The week culminates in the prestigious International Energy Awards Ceremony on the evening of February 12. This gala celebrates breakthrough innovations in technology, safety, and leadership, offering unparalleled networking opportunities with the architects of the global energy future.
