Check Out The Programme

Under the theme,"Wind Power to Prosperity in APAC: Building an Electricity-Driven Economy by Scaling Wind and Its Supply Chain", the APAC Wind Energy Summit will be delivered over three days, including two full days of conference programme and exhibition, alongside dedicated networking opportunities, receptions, and side events such as workshops.

The Summit brings together policymakers, industry leaders, developers, investors, and supply chain actors from across the Asia Pacific region and beyond, with a strong focus on the key themes shaping the future of wind energy in the region.

From high-level forums on financing, energy security, and corporate demand, to deep-dive technical sessions on floating offshore wind, grid integration, digitalization, and supply chain industrialization, the programme reflects the full complexity and potential of wind energy in the region.

For it's fourth edition, attendees can expect two stages. A strategic Plenary stage forming market-shaping policy discussions and a technology-led Knowledge Theatre stage.

The programme balances big-picture strategy with practical solutions, offering clear insights into how APAC markets can scale wind energy at pace while strengthening energy security, economic resilience, and industrial competitiveness.

*Programme subject to change.

14:00-14:45 | Vietnam Offshore Wind Development Guideline Workshop and Report Launch 

The government of Vietnam has issued a lot of legislation and regulation regarding the OFW industry in the last few year, including the Electricity law, MSP, Decree 11, Decree 65, Decree 58, Decree 57, NA resolution 253, and the upcoming decree to provide guidance under Resolution 253, which will take effects from 1st March 2026. It is expected that up to 17GW of OFW projects will start development in 2026, with lidars to be deployed before the rainy season from August.

GWEC sees that many companies need support and advice on how to develop an offshore wind project in Vietnam. GWEC will convene a half-day workshop to launch the Vietnam Offshore Wind Development Guideline, developed in collaboration with a technical consultant. The guideline serves as a practical handbook for developing offshore wind projects in Vietnam, covering the full project lifecycle from greenfield development through to commercial operation. 

(Attendance is by invitation. GWEC reserves the right to select and confirm participating organizations)
