Sarawak is set to host the 6th International Energy Week (IEW) 2025 from 15 – 17 July 2025 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK). The region’s premier energy event will spotlight Sarawak’s transformation into one of Asia-Pacific’s most dynamic clean energy leaders.
Held under the visionary theme ” From Sarawak to the World: Journey to Clean Energy Leadership,” IEW 2025 will bring together global energy leaders, government policymakers, international investors, and technology innovators. The event will serve as a pivotal platform to accelerate the global clean energy transition, catalyse collaboration, and shape a sustainable future for the region and beyond.
YB Datuk Dr. Haji Hazland bin Abang Hipni, Deputy Minister for Energy and Environmental Sustainability Sarawak and Chairman of the IEW 2025 Organising Committee, announced that the event is expected to attract over 6,500 attendees from 25 countries, further solidifying Sarawak’s growing influence as a regional clean energy hub.
“IEW 2025 represents a defining moment for Sarawak’s energy industry as we position ourselves not just as consumers but as producers and exporters of clean energy solutions,” said YB Datuk Dr. Haji Hazland. “This platform will catalyse industrial growth, secure strategic investments, and establish Sarawak as a key player in the regional clean energy ecosystem.”
Reinforcing this vision, Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Rahmat, Organising Chairman of IEW 2025, emphasised, “Our accelerated journey toward clean energy leadership offers a proven blueprint for sustainable development across Southeast Asia and beyond. At IEW 2025, we will demonstrate how resource-rich regions can generate unprecedented prosperity while safeguarding our environmental heritage for generations to come.”
Sarawak’s leadership is underpinned by a significant transformation of its energy mix. The state now generates over 70% of its electricity from renewable hydropower, complemented by advancements in solar, biomass, and hydrogen technologies. As the driving force behind Malaysia’s Hydrogen Economy Roadmap, Sarawak is home to the nation’s first commercial hydrogen production facility and refuelling infrastructure.
These bold initiatives align with Sarawak’s Sustainability Vision 2030, a forward- looking framework that promotes green economic growth through technological innovation, responsible resource management, and environmental stewardship.
The three-day exhibition will showcase over 400 participating companies from around the world, covering renewables, hydrogen, energy efficiency, smart grids, CCUS technologies, and green infrastructure. With more than 200 booths, IEW 2025 is projected to generate over USD 2.5 million in potential business, highlighting its vital role as a catalyst for commercial opportunities and cross-border collaboration in the clean energy sector. This dynamic environment enables attendees to explore cutting- edge innovations while facilitating knowledge-sharing and business networking. It connects global players with investors, regulators, and project developers across the entire energy value chain.
Complementing the exhibition is the prestigious IEW Summit, taking place on 15 and 16 July, which will convene 50 renowned speakers and more than 400 delegates in 20 curated sessions. These high-level discussions will explore key enablers such as modernising power grids, cross-border connectivity, public-private partnerships, and energy efficiency. Dedicated sessions on workforce development and youth empowerment will underscore the vital role of the next generation in driving sustainable energy innovation.
Key highlights include a Visionary Dialogue with the Premier of Sarawak, Ministerial Forums on economic transformation and natural gas as a regional catalyst, and expert panels on ASEAN policy harmonisation, sustainable development, and energy innovation.
The event will also feature a series of Technical Talks exploring emerging technologies, implementation strategies, and field case studies alongside Career Talk sessions connecting students and young professionals with industry experts and employers.
What makes IEW 2025 truly distinctive is its practical focus on implementation and collaboration,” explained YB Datuk Dr. Haji Hazland. “By bringing together policy expertise, technological innovation, and investment capital under one roof, we’re creating the ideal environment for partnerships that will accelerate the clean energy transition across Asia Pacific.”

Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.
