Cleaner, firmer, faster: speed to power in the race to net zero

Dear Jan,

What if clean energy isn’t just a sustainability goal—but the main bottleneck to your growth?

Electrification is now the bedrock of global competitiveness. But between extreme weather, aging grids and AI’s staggering energy demands, the real challenge is clear: speed to power. Winning organisations aren't just buying green energy, they’re securing power that is cleaner, firmer and faster to deploy.

The Energy Transition Summit in London on March 1st 2027, moderated by energy experts across The Economist Group—is built to answer one question: How do we move from green to green and guaranteed?

Call for Speakers:
We want practical corporate case studies, not theory. If your organisation has a story about overcoming grid constraints, securing firm power or accelerating execution, we want to hear from you.

What our attendees said:

A really insightful event

with a diverse range of speakers and variety of topics

Great event
with high quality speakers and good networking opportunities

Very helpful
in informing me about the current state of thinking and action. Extremely useful for considering the 3,500 papers submitted to the Journal

Well facilitated
discussions by the moderators and promoted thoughtful exchanges by the panel. I liked the format of the invitational roundtables

The event was very well-organised

and it was valuable hearing from such a wide range of speakers. It was clear that a lot of thought went into curating the sessions and speakers and the interviewers from The Economist set the standard for facilitating engaging conversations

It was a very good and productive event
The Leaders Club area was exceptionally well designed, and I gained significant value from the one‐on‐one conversations
