LONDON, June 14, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

41 global energy expert speakers. Strategic panel sessions, interviews,

keynotes and expert commentary. 2-day agenda to map out a bold new approach to

how energy is produced, distributed, and consumed.

The Citizens Energy Congress, will take place virtually on Tuesday 15th and

Wednesday 16th June 2021. A unique energy industry event, it is committed to

resetting the energy agenda, post COVID-19, to drive the transition to a low

carbon energy system that balances affordable energy access and climate change

commitments.

In contrast to siloed, industry events, the 2-day programme will bring together

competing perspectives around the future of energy, convening over 40 experts

from policy, finance, industry, energy and civil society to debate the

difficult questions at the heart of the energy transition.

A selection of speakers include Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Former Danish Prime

Minister and Former CEO of Save the Children; Dr Ernest Moniz, The 13th United

States Secretary of Energy; Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Center for

Sustainable Development and President of the Sustainable Development Solutions

Network, according to The New York Times "probably the most important economist

in the world"; Peggy Liu, Chairperson, Joint US-China Collaboration on Clean

Energy (JUCCCE), one of the leading catalysts of a green China; Bob Dudley,

Chairman, Oil and Gas Climate Initiative; as well as CEOs and senior executives

from organisations including EnBW, Baker Hughes, Mitsubishi Power, Eni, Shell,

European Commission, Carbon Tracker, REN21, World Business Council for

Sustainable Development, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and

Rocky Mountain Institute.

Supporting organisations include the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative, Boston

Consulting Group, United Nations Environment Programme Science Policy Business

Forum, REN21, Carbon Tracker, Environmental Defense Fund, Energy Industries

Council, IPIECA and Westinghouse.

Christopher Hudson, President of energy, dmg events, said: "The Citizens Energy

Congress will provide a uniquely balanced and inclusive debate between a broad

audience of stakeholders across the energy value chain.  Recognising we are all

interconnected, our goal is to enhance understanding, not enforce agreement.

Our intent is to deliver a world-class forum for a broad-based examination of

the competing perspectives on how to achieve a sustainable energy future

through strategy, collaboration and innovation."

The 2021 virtual event will be followed by an in-person event taking place in

2022.
