Published 07 September 2026
Energy Council has announced a media partnership with Power Philippines for Energy Council Manila 2026, taking place on 22 September at Dusit Thani Manila.
Co-hosted with the Department of Energy Philippines, Energy Council Manila brings together senior policymakers, CEOs, investors, project developers and energy executives from across the Philippines and wider Asia-Pacific region.
The partnership with Power Philippines will support the reach of Energy Council Manila’s 2026 programme, providing greater visibility for the market developments, investment opportunities and policy discussions shaping the Philippine energy sector.
The 2026 agenda will feature senior representatives from TotalEnergies, PNOC Exploration Corporation, Meralco PowerGen Corporation (MGEN), Asian Development Bank and the Department of Energy Philippines, alongside a growing roster of industry leaders.
“Power Philippines is proud to be a media partner of the Energy Council Summit 2026. We look forward to bringing greater visibility to the conversations that matter—from energy security and investment to the policies driving the sector forward.”
“Power Philippines has an important role in keeping the industry informed on the developments affecting the Philippine energy market. This partnership will help extend the reach of the discussions taking place at Energy Council Manila and connect those insights with a wider industry audience.
“Energy Council Manila brings together policymakers, investors, operators, project developers and capital providers around the issues influencing investment and project development in the Philippines. We look forward to working with Power Philippines to support greater visibility and engagement around these opportunities.”
Throughout his career, Mathios has also been a strong advocate for energy security, domestic resource development and the importance of natural gas in supporting reliable and affordable energy systems. Energean was an early mover among independent E&P companies in setting a net-zero ambition and has continued to invest in lower-carbon initiatives, including the development of carbon storage at Prinos in Greece.

Digital Roadmaps – Comparing The Steps Taken By Energy Giants
Many of the household major oil and gas companies have begun shifting their market position to better prepare for the impending climate revolution. This energy supply shift has been imagined in several scenarios, which in essence are distilled to: our current path, our stated path and the necessary path needed to reach net-zero emissions. Inevitably, the stuttering and profiteering has led us to the brink and now we, as a global society, must rely on our ingenuity to restore the planet to a stable state. Easier said than done, of course, however making this process possible is the integration of advanced digital technologies into robust, legacy mechanical technologies. The rise of this digitalization has been known in the industry, as Oil and Gas 4.0 – referring to the technological era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. read more
