Congress Programme Committee

Every three years the Council elects the Congress Programme Committee (CPC) for the next Congress cycle. National Committees can nominate senior experts from their countries and the Council selects the best candidates, leaving the WPC Energy Vice President for the Programme and Chair of the CPC to appoint additional members to provide a good balance of expertise, gender and geography. The Council decided to elect all nominations so the CPC members for the 25th WPC Energy Congress cycle are:
