Singapore International Energy Week 2026 sets sights on “Connecting Energy Systems, Powering Tomorrow”
SINGAPORE, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has announced the 19th Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) theme “Connecting Energy Systems, Powering Tomorrow”. From 26-30 October 2026, SIEW will convene policymakers, industry leaders and innovators to address today’s global critical energy challenges.
Addressing urgent energy challenges
The Middle East conflict has disrupted global fuel supply chains, leading to significant increases in oil and gas prices. Global electricity demand is also rising at an unprecedented pace, driven by electrification, industrialisation, and data centres growth. There remains the critical need for decarbonisation to meet climate targets.
SIEW 2026 will build on regional momentum to ensure secure, reliable and sustainable energy supply long term. Key discussions will focus on regional grid integration, cross border collaboration, and low-carbon solutions such as advanced nuclear technologies, biomethane and geothermal energies, as well as carbon capture utilisation and storage.
Mr Puah Kok Keong, Chief Executive, EMA, said: “The global disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict highlight the fragility of our current energy supply chains. In this environment, building resilient, interconnected energy systems has become more urgent than ever. “
Key initiatives and events at SIEW 2026
This year, the SIEW Summit will be expanded into a two-day event. This reflects the growing list of topics and issues in our energy landscape today. The SIEW Summit will now include the Singapore-International Energy Agency (IEA) Forum, the Singapore-International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Forum; and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The Summit will also feature two evening receptions, offering delegates dedicated space to connect and build lasting relationships within the global energy community.
Returning programs include SIEW Energy Insights, SIEW TechTable and Thinktank Roundtables, discussing emerging technologies, market developments and policy perspectives.
Marking EMA’s 25th anniversary, the SIEW Energy Showcase will highlight Singapore’s efforts in building a secure and resilient energy system.
SIEWConnects will bring the dialogue to Australia, China, and the United States ahead of the main event, engaging international partners and amplifying global perspectives at the Summit.
Partner events include the Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES), Asia Gas Markets Conference, Future of the Grid (FOTG), Asian Downstream Summit, Asian Refining Technology Conference, and Ammonia & Carbon Capture Asia (ACCA). FOTG will co-organise the 4th ASEAN Energy Regulators Forum with EMA and feature a larger exhibition focused on grid and emerging technologies. ACES will introduce a new Sustainable fuels track covering green hydrogen and bioenergy.
