World Utilities Congress opens in Abu Dhabi
Baku, May 27, AZERTAC
The World Utilities Congress 2025 opened today at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, according to WAM.
Themed “Innovating for a New Age of Utilities”, the three-day event is bringing together 1,400-plus delegates, and over 500 expert speakers from across the global utilities sector, to advance sustainable growth through renewables, technology, and cross-sector collaboration.
With global electricity consumption forecast to more than double by 2050, strategic sessions are focusing on how to build flexible, digitally enabled grids, finance large-scale infrastructure, and ensure reliable and affordable utility services in an increasingly complex operating environment.
The programme is also spotlighting the technologies shaping the sector’s next chapter, from artificial intelligence and advanced desalination to clean hydrogen and decentralised energy systems. These innovations will be explored alongside the enabling policy frameworks and investment models required to translate ambition into scalable progress.
