Introducing Bankable Energies 2025: EIC Launches Global Forum to Drive Investment in the Energy Transition

Leading experts from the world's energy sectors are gathering in London to discuss sustainable investment strategies that will drive the energy transition.

London, 11 September 2024 — The Energy Industries Council is proud to introduce the inaugural Bankable Energies conference, taking place on 26th-27th February 2025 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, London Tower Bridge. The event brings together top management from industry, policy, investment, and innovation players to debate the direction, opportunities, and challenges in sustainable energy investments.

Bankable Energies 2025 aims to contribute to accelerating the transition to a sustainable future of energy by leading discussions on sustainable investment and facilitating cooperation among major key stakeholders. From insightful discussions and networking opportunities to exclusive roundtables, the conference is fully packed to drive energy projects forward and help global net-zero targets.

An Advisory Board comprising experts and leaders from major organisations guides and advises on the event to ensure it is both insightful and thought-provoking, while also serving as a gateway for making business contacts and exchanging real-life experiences.

Advisory Board Members:

• Abel Martins-Alexandre - Lloyds Banking Group
• Alan Haigh - Retired Research and Innovation Manager
• Andrew Cochrane – The World Bank
• Ann Johnson – Blaze Manufacturing Solutions
• Audrey Louis – Non-Executive Board Director at EIC
• Ian Headley - Santander
• Jennifer Pemberton - Low Carbon Contracts
• Kerry-Ann Adamson - Worley
• Kieran Lake - Siemens Energy
• Matthew Taylor - Green Giraffe Advisory
• Michael Stirling - Stirling Infrastructure Partners
• Roger Brandwood - Uniper
• Sandra Antonovic - Reflex Marine

Stuart Broadley, CEO of EIC, said, “Bankable Energies 2025 is going to be a thriving platform for the brightest minds within energy to come together in tackling the challenges of financing the energy transition. In bringing together industrialists, policy makers, and investors, we can together unlock the opportunities that lie at our fingertips to deliver a sustainable future.”

In tandem with Bankable Energies 2025, EIC released a UK-focused policy document in July that highlights key financing challenges that also resonate across the globe — from the lack of access to growth capital for transitioning companies to the complexity of navigating green finance. The EIC Manifesto 2024 points out that many companies struggle to secure financing for renewable projects due to strong ties with oil and gas operations, despite declared ambitions for diversification.

This will be a two-day Conference opened by stakeholder insight sessions, followed by in-depth discussions of specific energy sectors, including power generation and hydrocarbons. Premium delegates will have special access to a set of exclusive roundtable discussions and a thought leadership networking session that completes the assurance for value capture.
