Portugal next venue for the 2017 Executive Assembly
At the Executive Assembly in Addis Ababa, Lisbon was chosen as the next city to host the World Energy
Council Executive Assembly meeting in 2017.
Executive Secretary of the Associação Portuguesa da Energia, Bento Morais Sarmento, welcomes the

Council’s 2015 Energy Trilemma Index, Portugal ranked 34 out of 130 countries worldwide.
Commenting on the Trilemma Index ranking, Morais Sarmento said: “It is a solid, well-rounded score.
Portugal has successfully liberalised its energy markets, expanded its renewable energy sector and
lowered CO2 emissions. We are very happy to share our experience inside the World Energy Council
community.”
2016 World Energy Congress momentum continues to build
Already 100 speakers from 40 countries including 12 ministers have now been confirmed as speakers at

the long road from COP21.
The recent launch of the 2015 Trilemma Index enjoyed an exceptional level of media interest, and
international attention is now on the Congress and what energy leaders will discuss. The team in London
is observing the momentum around the Congress growing on a daily basis, as is reflected in the number
