The summit features over 20 ministers from across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, alongside top executives from major energy firms including Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron. Opening the conference, Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul emphasized that energy policy is now inseparable from national security and economic stability. He urged international partners to balance affordability with the urgent need for sustainable infrastructure to support industrial growth.
Energy Minister Akanat Promphan highlighted Thailand's strategic role in this transition, positioning the country as a hub for regional energy collaboration. The discussions, which include high-level panels on the future of global power and the integration of AI into energy systems, focus on shifting from ideological policy debates to pragmatic investment. With the launch of the co-located AixEnergy event, the conference is specifically addressing the massive electricity requirements of data centers, an issue now mirroring the geopolitical importance of traditional energy security.
