UPDATES FROM THE ENERGY INDUSTRIES COUNCIL news&events
About the EIC Established in 1943, the EIC is the leading trade association for companies working in the global energy industries. Our member companies, who supply goods and services across the oil and gas, power, nuclear and renewables sectors, have the experience and expertise that operators and contractors require. As a not-for-profi t organisation with offi ces in key international locations, the EIC’s role is to help members maximise commercial opportunities worldwide. We do this in a variety of ways:
Market insight
Helping members to track global energy projects and assets
Our projects database, EICDataStream, provides extensive information on more than 8,800 active and future projects in all energy sectors. By tracking full project lifecycles from feasibility to construction and then completion, it helps members to identify opportunities and plan their business development strategies. Our operations and maintenance database, EICAssetMap, puts the details of more than 4,000 energy facilities across The Americas, Asia Pacifi c, Europe and the Middle East at your fi ngertips.
High-profi le international events
Connecting members with buyers and partners
The EIC hosts fl agship industry events that bring together supply chain companies with global energy contractors and operators, and bespoke events that keep members informed about projects, sector developments and markets. Our overseas trade delegations and EIC-run pavilions at international exhibitions introduce members to regional energy markets and their major players.
Worldwide business support
Enabling members to expand into markets across the globe
Member companies who want to do business outside the UK can rely on our global network of offi ces to provide regional market knowledge, one-to-one advice and practical support. We also provide virtual and rental offi ces, and facilities for hotdesking, meetings, conferences and corporate events.
Business intelligence
Keeping members informed and raising their profi le
We help our members to stay connected with the world of energy through informative online news, e-bulletins, market reports and industry publications. Our comprehensive directory of member supplier services is also a useful resource for operators and contractors.
Industry courses
Enhancing members’ skills and knowledge
Our quality courses, which can be delivered off -site or in-house, are led by highly experienced trainers with industry backgrounds.
We tailor our training to suit a variety of levels and also work with member companies to run programmes, some of which include tours to manufacturing companies.
EIC Insight Report: UK Operational Renewables report: AssetMap
EIC’s new report shines a light on projects which will generate 5MW or more of renewable energy, drawing on data from EIC DataStream and AssetMap databases. During the past three years, the UK has commissioned more than 10GW of renewable energy in biomass, energy from waste, solar and wind (onshore and off shore) collectively. This injection of capacity commissioned to the grid, 4.5GW of which specifi cally came from off shore wind, has taken the overall capacity generated in the UK to 43GW.
The UK is top of the leader board for off shore wind globally, currently producing 8.4GW. The report highlights that during the past 10 years, 29 off shore wind farms have been commissioned, producing 7.8GW. As the UK works to boost off shore wind capacity to 30GW by 2030, EIC data shows that 21 off shore wind farms are expected to be constructed during the next fi ve years, producing 14GW in total.

EIC Insight Report: Global Off shore Wind
The off shore wind sector’s global expansion trend continued throughout 2019, bringing overall operational capacity to more than 28GW. Key markets such as the UK, China, Germany, the Netherlands and Taiwan further strengthened their positions as project pipelines were expanded and ongoing developments progressed with construction.
The report fi nds the sector is expected to see strong growth throughout the next decades, not only in existing ‘mature’ markets, but equally in emerging ones. Examples of countries that have gained signifi cant interest from developers and the supply chain alike in 2019 are Poland, Japan, Vietnam and Ireland.

Energy Exports Conference
When? 20–21 October 2020 Where? Aberdeen Why attend? It is estimated only 40% of the energy supply chain and companies in the UK are actually exporters. At a time when the government is looking to maximise export opportunities, EIC is excited to announce the return of The Energy Exports Conference (EEC) in Aberdeen in June.
Organised by EIC and partners, EEC helps exporters identify and pursue opportunities on energy projects globally. The event will host representatives from global companies including ADNOC, Aramco, Total, BP, Equinor, Shell, Bechtel and Wood, convening more than 1,000 attendees and 100 speakers.
After the success of the inaugural EEC in 2019, 20 delegations from around the world at are expected at this year’s event. Highlevel speakers will discuss issues impacting the sector, including the energy transition, access to funding, decommissioning, export starter markets and off shore wind.
More than 50 companies within the UK supply chain will exhibit during the two-day course. If you are looking to enter or expand into global markets, EEC 2020 is the perfect place to raise brand awareness, showcase new products or services and meet buyers.
EEC will kick off with a networking dinner and drinks hosted by the Lord Provost of Aberdeen Council. Last year more than US$150bn of global projects requiring UK products and services were discussed in Aberdeen by over 20 major operators, including Aramco, Ørsted, BP and Shell.
