From mature renewable onshore and offshore sectors like wind, solar and hydropower; to grid infrastructure and large nuclear; to hydrocarbon sectors like oil & gas, LNG, FPSO, decommissioning, upstream, midstream and downstream; to emerging low-carbon sectors like hydrogen, carbon capture, CCUS, energy storage, BESS, biofuels, SAF (sustainable aviation fuels), and geothermal.EIC provides a wide range of services, including access to global market intelligence, CAPEX and OPEX project data, consulting support, events, business development opportunities, and advocacy. It also facilitates connections with key decision-makers and policymakers in the energy sector worldwide.The organisation is behind the World Energy Supply Chain Awards (WESCA), which celebrates excellence and innovation across the energy supply chain. EIC also publishes the annual Survive & Thrive Insight Report, which explores the strategies member companies are using to grow in an increasingly complex and competitive global energy landscape.EIC’s members bring exceptional capability across engineering, manufacturing, services, technology, innovation, digital solutions, and asset management. Collectively, they represent the future of the energy industry, driving the net zero agenda, enabling the energy transition, and advancing sustainability and a just transition.Stay Connected with EICLearn more about the EIC: www.the-eic.comExplore EIC membership: www.the-eic.com/MembershipRead the Survive & Thrive reports: the-eic.com/MediaCentre/Publications/SurviveandThriveFollow the EIC on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/energy-industries-council-the-eic-
In This Episode - Our host Stuart Broadley, CEO of the Energy Industries Council (EIC), speaks with Vincent Ladougne, Group Business Development Director at Ponticelli. Together, they discuss how Ponticelli is navigating risk, driving innovation, and demonstrating resilience while building a future beyond oil and gas through standout projects in solar photovoltaics and floating offshore wind. Vincent also highlights the challenges of reindustrialising Europe’s fabrication capacity and the complex logistics involved in pioneering projects.What Is the EIC?

In This Episode - Our host Stuart Broadley, CEO of the Energy Industries Council (EIC), speaks with Nigel Corfield, Industrial and Commercial Customer Director and Board Director at Wave Utilities. Together, they explore the pivotal role Wave played in highlighting the lack of statutory obligation to meet future industrial water demands. Through proactive collaboration with customers, regulators, and Durham University, Wave helped secure approximately £70 million in investment for a new desalination plant and led a national conversation on water strategy.What Is the EIC?
