YEPN Newsletter – August 2018

This year New Zealand has the honour of hosting the Asia Pacific Energy Leaders’ Summit, which presents a unique opportunity to network some of the visionaries of our industry!

This year’s theme is the 3D Vision. New Energy Perspectives will offer an invaluable insight into the global forces that are driving the Energy Sector’s three D’s: Decentralisation, Digitisation and Decarbonisation. The 2018 Summit will feature outstanding keynote speakers and industry leaders from business, energy and technology, and will help decision-makers navigate the disruptive forces that are provoking profound global change. It’s a critical time to bring new perspectives and insights to the challenges, especially from outside of the traditional energy sector.
