World Utilities Congress returns to Abu Dhabi from 25–27 May 2027, hosted by TAQA, convening leaders from across power and water to address the priorities shaping the next era of utilities.

As one of the UAE’s leading utilities companies, Tabreed and this event are a perfect match, and I am proud that we have been sponsors and participants in it from the beginning.

On behalf of Schneider Electric, we were proud to contribute to key conversations around accelerating the energy transition and strengthening grid resilience in the Gulf and beyond. World Utilities Congress 2025 offered an exceptional opportunity to engage with policymakers, partners, and industry leaders, showcase our latest technologies, and align on shared priorities to drive a more sustainable and digital energy future.

The World Utilities Congress 2025 was a well organised and well attended conference. The quality of conference presentation was outstanding. World Utilities Congress continues to offer itself to the international energy community as an excellent meeting point. The conference slots and panel topics was varied, well timed and well facilitated. No improvement appears to be possible.

Attending the World Utilities Congress was an unparalleled opportunity for our Schneider Electric team to connect with industry leaders, gain strategic insights, explore groundbreaking technologies, and contribute to shaping the future of utilities on both a regional and global scale. It was promising to see an increased focus on the topic of water scarcity, and companies across the Gulf embracing energy-efficient technologies to ensure sustainable water management and a better future for all.

It was a true pleasure to participate in the World Utilities Congress 2025 and to represent Germany on the panel ‘Low Carbon and Green Hydrogen: Navigating Challenges to Open Opportunities.’ As one of the hugest market for green molecules and leading electrolyzer developer, Germany is leading the charge to make the hydrogen economy a reality. The WUC provided an invaluable platform to engage with stakeholders and discuss how to accelerate this transition. I look forward to next year’s event!

The World Utilities Congress was exceptionally well-organized, bringing together industry leaders for discussions focused on timely and globally essential topics that are vital to shaping the future of utilities.

I have been delighted to be part of World Utilities Congress 2025 along with my Ducab colleagues. Was very impressed by the high quality organization and the professionalism of DMGEVENT teams and they were simply outstanding. We will definitely come back again in 2026 like every year and we are eager to bring our knowledge and experience to advance the energy transition (Grid modernization, Efficient Transmission, Green H2, Renewables, Nuclear, Windoffshore, Submarine cables, HVDC, AI, CCU, CCS, SFA…). WUC has now become an impactful and a MUST global energy platform to be part of.
