Transport + Energy Forum and Awards 2026

Now in its fifth year, this year’s Transport + Energy Forum is set against a backdrop of rising fuel costs and global uncertainty, and focuses on the urgent need to move beyond ambition and deliver electrification at pace.

Built around three core pillars – Accelerating electrification. EV growth. Energy security. – the programme will explore how scaling electrification across transport and energy systems can unlock EV growth, drive economic performance, and reduce reliance on volatile global energy markets.

With demand for electric vehicles and low-carbon technologies accelerating rapidly, the challenge is no longer just adoption – it is whether transport and energy systems can keep up. This forum will address how both sectors must move faster, align more closely, and scale infrastructure and capacity to match the pace of change.

With 2030 just four years away at the time of the forum and key net zero and phase-out deadlines fast approaching, the window for action is narrowing. The focus must shift decisively from ambition to coordinated, large-scale delivery.

This is a shift in focus: from why electrification matters to how we deliver it at speed. More than a climate issue, electrification is now central to economic growth, national resilience, and long-term energy security.

Transport + Energy Awards take place on the evening of the Transport + Energy Forum
