Issues Monitor at the Berlin Energy
Transition Dialogue

What keeps Energy Leaders awake at night?

World Energy Issues Monitor 2021

During a webinar on Friday, 19 March 2021 from 9:00 to 10:00 AM CET the World Energy Council – Germany presented the World Energy Issues Monitor 2021. Every year, the World Energy Council surveys energy policymakers, CEOs and leading experts around the world to find out which energy issues they consider to be most relevant. The responses are summarised in the Issues Monitor. It provides unique insight into what energy experts identify as Critical Uncertainties and Action Priorities. Over 2,500 energy leaders from more than 108 countries took part in the survey.

The World Energy Council’s annual World Energy Issues Monitor provides a snapshot of what keeps energy policymakers, CEOs and leading experts awake at night. It enables an understanding of the world energy agenda and the evolution of priorities on a historical and geographical basis.

Martin Young, Senior Director, Insights at the World Energy Council, presented the results of this year’s Issues Monitor edition. Stefan Kapferer, CEO of 50Hertz Transmission, gave a commentary on the results from a German perspective.

In the past years the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (BETD), which represents the main conference of the Berlin Energy Week, has become a leading international forum for key stakeholders of the energy sector. High-level policymakers, industry, science and civil society are given the opportunity to share their experiences and ideas on a safe, affordable and environmentally responsible global energy transition. Over 2,000 participants from more than 90 countries, 50 foreign and energy ministers and state secretaries, and over 100 high-level speakers gather in the German capital every spring to be part of the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue. The 7th Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue will be held under the Motto: “Energiewende – Towards Climate Neutrality”. Due to the Corona pandemic, the 2021 event will be held as a virtual conference.
