At the ENACT Majlis in Abu Dhabi, H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber convened 80 top leaders from the world’s most influential energy, technology, and climate organisations including ADNOC Group, Masdar, Microsoft, Shell, bp, TotalEnergies, PETRONAS, EDF, Eni, KNOC, INPEX, Groq, Econet Group, and others.The gathering focused on one defining challenge: the unprecedented energy demand driven by exponential AI growth, projected to reach 150 GW by 2030, requiring $600B in annual infrastructure investment and major grid modernisation worldwide.The Majlis marks a pivotal moment as global players begin shaping a long-term blueprint that integrates AI, energy, and climate action not as parallel agendas, but as interconnected levers of future economic stability and technological progress.
Why This Matters
The ENACT Majlis arrives at a time when:
- AI workloads are multiplying faster than nations can build grid capacity
- Data centers are emerging as one of the fastest-growing global energy consumers
- The world needs multi-source energy strategies across renewables, gas, nuclear, hydrogen, and grid storage
- Integrated planning between tech, energy, climate, and policy is now essential
- The industry must balance AI acceleration with climate-aligned sustainability
AI is no longer just a technology revolution it is a power revolution.
And no single sector can solve it in isolation.
The ENACT Majlis signals a shift toward collective, coordinated, cross-sector energy planning that aligns with global climate priorities.
Leadership Perspective
H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber
UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Chairman of Masdar & CEO of ADNOC
“The ENACT Majlis convened the leading minds in energy, technology, and investment to advance solutions that maximise the transformative potential of AI.
The exponential growth of AI is creating a power surge that no single energy source can meet alone.
We need a collaborative and integrated response across all sectors to fully harness AI’s potential.
The Majlis has kick-started an action agenda to realise these opportunities and deliver sustainable value for all.”
Dr. Al Jaber’s remarks reflect a strategic truth:
AI’s future depends on a unified global energy ecosystem built on resilience, flexibility, and sustainability.
The Strategic Implication
The ENACT Majlis establishes the foundation for a new global action agenda, positioning participating organisations to:
- Build multi-source, AI-ready energy systems across renewables, gas, nuclear, and hydrogen
- Accelerate $600B+ annual investment into energy grids, storage, and infrastructure
- Support national strategies to meet AI, data center, and digital economy power needs
- Expand climate-aligned energy solutions to buffer the impact of rising AI consumption
- Create frameworks for public–private collaboration across technology, utilities, and energy companies
- Strengthen energy resilience while unlocking AI innovation at global scale
This signals the emergence of a new frontier:
the AI–Energy Climate Nexus, where technology infrastructure planning becomes inseparable from long-term climate and power strategy.
The ENACT Majlis, led by Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, marks a decisive step toward building the world’s first coordinated blueprint for AI-era energy transformation.
By uniting global leaders across energy, tech, and climate, the UAE is positioning itself at the center of a historic shift one where AI’s explosive growth, energy security, and climate alignment converge.
AI will reshape the world’s economies.
But it will be the AI-powered, climate-aligned energy systems built today that determine whether that future is sustainable, secure, and scalable.
The message is clear:AI needs energy. Energy needs innovation. And the world needs collaboration.
