Saudi Arabia, a global energy leader, is making bold strides toward a diversified and sustainable future through its Vision 2030. Although oil and gas are essential pillars of the Saudi economy, the Kingdom is investing heavily in renewable energy, low-carbon technologies, and economic diversification, positioning itself as a key player in the global energy transition.

A Comprehensive Energy Transformation

Renewable Energy Expansion–Saudi Arabia aims to generate 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2030, with major projects like Sudair Solar Farm and the Middle East’s largest wind farm.

• Innovation in Clean Low Carbon Energy – Investments in carbon capture, natural gas expansion, and nuclear energy support a balanced transition while maintaining energy security.
• Electric Vehicle (EV) Growth – The Kingdom is set to produce 500,000 EVs annually by 2030, driving sustainable mobility.
• Water Sustainability – Advances in desalination technologies address water scarcity while promoting environmental responsibility.

25^th WPC Energy Congress Theme: Pathways to an Energy Future for All

In a rapidly evolving world, the need for sustainable, equitable, and innovative energy solutions has never been more urgent. ‘Pathways to an Energy Future for All’ is a Congress that brings together leaders, industry experts, policy makers, and innovators to explore the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to a global energy system that is accessible, reliable, and environmentally responsible.

The Congress will delve into the latest advancements in all energy technologies, while addressing critical issues such as energy equity, climate change, and policy frameworks.

Participants will engage in dynamic discussions, collaborative workshops, and insightful keynote presentations, all aimed at forging a clear and inclusive path towards a sustainable energy future.

The triennial WPC Energy Congress with a typical attendance of over 15,000, provides a neutral and inclusive platform to debate and define realistic, workable paths to a net zero future. The event brings together thought leaders from across the global energy industry including Heads of State, Ministers, CEOs, Presidents and Heads of International Organisations, as well as engineers, academics and the NGO community.

Our 25th Congress will be held from 26-30 April 2026 under the theme of `Pathways to an Energy Future for All`. 

We will be continuing these important conversations as we look forward to the 25th WPC Energy Congress taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2026. This marks the first time that the Congress has taken place in this country and only the second time in the WPC’s 90 year history that it has taken place in the Middle East, the first being in Doha in 2011.
