TCI Energy Forum
A strong line-up of accomplished speakers will deliver though-provoking presentations and insightful analyses to educate and inspire us towards a more sustainable energy future. Topics to be featured during the full-day conference include:
Adapting to Change: Perils and Promise for the energy sector.
As the world adapts to climate change, geopolitical and geoeconomic upheavals, countries, corporations, communities and leaders must anticipate, adjust and remain agile.
- Diversifying the economy (electrifying transportation, energy security, developing alternative industries, attracting investment and balancing population dynamics)
- Creating an enabling environment with fit-for-purpose regulations and policies
- Incorporating sustainability into business operations
- How to pivot in a changing business environment (rising costs, supply chain challenges)
Financing the Clean Energy Transition
“Developing and emerging economies account for two-thirds of the world’s population but only one-fifth of investment in clean energy – and just one-tenth of global financial wealth.” Access to financing has a significant impact on how the energy transition unfolds, and annual investments in the energy sector has fallen by 20%. What are the challenges facing developing economies in mobilizing financing for clean energy transition? What are the opportunities?
- Subsidies and incentives for transition to alternative energy sources.
- Challenges of mobilizing investment in emerging and developing countries.
- Examples of successful partnerships (investors, banks, government, public private partnerships etc.)
- Maintaining reliable, resilient and affordable energy while expanding clean energy investments.
Sustainable Solutions: The Realities and Rewards
The sustainability agenda requires reimagining our energy systems with the inclusion of alternative energy sources and game-changing technologies. Governments and utilities have the power to deploy strategies that transform the grid. But, this transformation also requires a coalition of partners and navigating the complexities of going green.
- The realities of ‘going green’ (land availability, financial investment, complexities of multi-island energy systems, modernized regulations, safety risks of unregulated grid connections, and supply chain considerations)
- Balancing reliability, resiliency, sustainability and affordability against growing energy demand.
- Optimal energy solutions for island economies
- Supportive interventions and partnerships for sustainability
- The role of Liquified Natural Gas in diversifying the energy mix. Considerations for Turks and Caicos.
People Powered – A Labor Market In Transition
Turbulence in labor markets across countries and sectors due to international competition for talent, rapid changes in technology, and shifts in business models are challenging companies to counteract these headwinds. As companies reposition their workforce, agility and innovation are critical to meet the demands of their industries, fulfill customer expectations and stay ahead.
- Impact of the fourth industrial revolution on the future of work
- Existing and emerging employment trends and gaps in the labor market.
- Retooling employees for the future (Skills gap analysis of existing employees, training and developing a new generation of energy sector workers)
- The ecosystem of energy sector jobs (upstream, midstream and downstream) • Recruitment challenges across sectors
- Automation and the human effect
Enabling Environments – The Impact of Regulations on the scale and speed of the clean energy transition.
