KUALA LUMPUR: Energy Asia 2025 is set to attract more than 4,000 international delegates when it returns for its second edition from June 16 to 18, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Themed ‘Delivering Asia’s Energy Transition’, the conference will bring together policymakers, industry leaders and energy professionals to explore practical solutions that balance the urgency of accelerating climate action with the need to safeguard economic resilience.

Hosted by Petronas, with CERAWeek by S&P Global as knowledge partner, the conference will feature more than 180 globally recognised speakers and is backed by 52 corporate sponsors, highlighting the industry’s broad support for a just and orderly energy transition.

In a statement, the host said prominent figures slated to attend include Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries secretary general Haitham Al Ghais; Saudi Aramco president and CEO Amin Nasser; PETRONAS president and group CEO Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik; and CNPC Economics & Technology Research Institute president Dr Lu Ruquan.

They will be joined by Woodside Energy CEO and managing director Meg O’Neill; TotalEnergies chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné; Eneos Xplora chairman Toshiya Nakahara; Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team team principal and CEO Toto Wolff; and Shell CEO Wael Sawan.

Petronas senior general manager, Energy Asia and strategy, planning and governance Arni Laily Anwarrudin said the company aims to establish the region’s foremost platform for thought leadership on the energy transition.

“Through Energy Asia, our ambition is to establish the region’s foremost platform for thought leadership on the energy transition, a space that not only showcases bold ideas and innovation, but also drives meaningful, tangible action.”

“We also aim to bridge the gap between emerging and developed economies by fostering cross-sector and cross-border collaboration. Only through inclusive and equitable dialogue can we unlock the full potential of Asia’s diverse energy landscape and ensure that no one is left behind,” she added.

A new feature this year is the Energy Asia Global Leadership Executive Forum, a closed-door session for C-suite leaders from energy, finance, technology and professional services. The forum will aim to align investment strategies and scale up technology deployment.

Two additional initiatives will make their debut: the Energy Asia Awards, recognising leadership in energy transition, and Future Energy Leaders, spotlighting emerging talent across the region.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to officiate and deliver the keynote address.
