We asked EIC founders, members, staff and partners around the world for their reflections on EIC’s 80th anniversary.
This year marks EIC’s 80th anniversary, and Energy Focus could not be more excited to celebrate all that EIC has accomplished in collaboration with members, partners, employees and friends. It is because of their continued support that EIC has been able to evolve continuously since its founding.

In the year that EIC celebrates its 80th anniversary and wins the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise, Energy Focus asks three members: how is EIC membership helping you export products and services around the world, diversify into new activities and grow the business?
In October 2022, Oman joined the UAE and Saudi Arabia in becoming the third GCC country to commit to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies represent an enormous opportunity for EIC members. As the region pivots from fossil fuels, GCC states are well-positioned to lead the energy transition through clean hydrogen development and strong policy support.
Across the region, the political will to decarbonise at pace is lining up investors. And although ambitions vary among countries, as do market size and readiness, there is a prevailing sense of dynamism.
But which markets should you consider exporting to in 2023? Oman, Saudi Arabia and UAE, says Wan Afiq, Energy Analyst for Middle East and North Africa at EIC
Although there is growing pressure on the global power sector to decarbonise, coal remains one of Asia Pacific’s cheapest new-build power generation options. With the region’s electricity demand growth expected to be double the rate of the rest of the world this decade, EIC Regional Analyst for Asia Pacific Dr Madana Nallappan looks at Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia and the opportunities on offer amid their energy conundrum
Congratulations on being appointed EIC’s new Chair. What role do you see yourself and EIC playing, going forward, in a rapidly changing energy landscape?

As Europe transitions to a more sustainable future, the development and deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) present exciting opportunities for the nuclear energy supply chain. With plans to develop and put the first SMRs into operation, EIC energy analyst Aadam Sufi looks at why Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania should be on your radar
EIC’s 80th anniversary year has prompted some significant reflection on its history and achievements.
Securing a coveted King’s Award title is not easy, and this renowned accolade is testament to the work that EIC continues to deliver for its members as the go-to energy supply chain trade association.

Jonathan Dyble looks back at EIC’s rich history and discovers what the organisation hopes to achieve moving forward as it targets another 80 years of success
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is the most significant clean energy legislation in US history.
