Session objective: Sharing perspectives and identifying common ground in the context of power sector transition.
Regulators are at the core of the global energy transition, with decisions made today shaping the world’s ability to achieve a net-zero future. A key challenge lies in striking the right balance between accelerating the clean energy transition while ensuring affordability and reliability. This high-level dialogue, hosted by UNEZA in partnership with RETA, will bring together CEOs and regulators to identify common ground and tackle the barriers hindering progress toward ambitious power sector goals.
Wednesday, 28 May 202512:00 - 13:30
Session objective: What digital technologies are set to redefine growth, efficiency and sustainability in the utilities sector.
This Innovation Roundtable led by ADSW, the Net Zero Technology Centre, and TII will highlight groundbreaking technologies and innovative approaches that are fundamentally transforming utility operations. Building on insights from the previous WUC Innovation Roundtable, this session serves as a platform for knowledge sharing, fostering collaboration, and driving the future of the industry.

Session objective: Accelerating brine management, strengthening the narrative around desalination’s centrality to water security and advancing a global framework on recycling.
Climate change is already reshaping water availability on a dramatic scale. Meanwhile, demand for water—particularly for industrial use and the energy transition, including hydrogen production—is set to rise exponentially. Desalination could become a critical global solution to address growing water insecurity. At the same time, bold policies and innovative approaches to water circularity are essential. How do we scale desalination and is there room for a global framework on water reuse?
Thursday, 29 May 202511:00 - 12:15
The energy transition hinges on overcoming a critical challenge: outdated and undersized transmission grids. Without modernised and expanded grids, the integration of renewable energy at scale remains a distant goal. Existing grids, particularly in developed and emerging economies, are often too small, too old, and incompatible with modern renewable technologies.
Addressing these issues demands significant initial investment, yet financing appetite remains limited despite the long-term benefits. Acting as a forum for thought leaders, strategists, and policymakers in the sector, the roundtable will examine how we can support larger and more flexible transmission and distribution grids.
This year’s Leadership Roundtables are designed to foster high-level discussions on the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the power, utilities and water landscape. These exclusive, invitation-only sessions held under the Chatham House Rule will unite up to 25 participants per roundtable session of forward-thinking leaders, industry experts and investors to drive impactful dialogue, collaboration and innovation.
Due to the limited number of seats, we encourage you to register your interest in attending today.
