Event Details

The Philippines stands at a pivotal juncture in its energy sector, poised to accelerate towards a sustainable future. Recent data underscores both the challenges and opportunities inherent in the Philippine energy sector. With a rapidly growing population and expanding economy, the demand for energy continues to surge. According to the latest reports, the Philippines' energy demand is projected to increase by an average of 5.8% annually until 2040, highlighting the urgency of sustainable energy solutions.


In this context, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) is set to host the ENERGY SMART FORUM 2024, on 28 August, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, at Dusit Thani, Manila. With the theme "Powering Progress: Accelerating Towards a Sustainable Energy Future", the ECCP pillar energy event will provide a platform for productive and collaborative dialogue on steering the Philippine energy sector towards greater resilience, efficiency, and sustainability. This year's Forum will deep dive into the latest developments in the energy arena, as well as explore advancements and transformative potential of emerging technologies within the energy sector.


Join us as we engage with policymakers, experts, high-level delegates, and energy advocates in dialogues on the current status, opportunities, and trends in the Philippine energy sector.
