From power lines to trust lines: leading the next energy era
In this exclusive Energy Connects studio interview from the World Utilities Congress 2025, Dr Angela Wilkinson, Secretary General of the World Energy Council, shares insights from a global survey of 3,000 energy leaders. From volatile commodity prices to the urgent need for grid investment and affordability, she explores the priorities shaping the energy transition. With the world only 20% electrified today but set to reach 50% by 2050, Dr Wilkinson explains why utilities must prepare for an electrification super cycle and why the next era of energy demands not just new infrastructure, but renewed trust.
