The BusinessNZ Energy Council (BEC) is pleased to announce two young New Zealanders are on their way to becoming the next generation of New Zealand's energy leaders, capable of solving the world's most pressing challenges around energy and sustainability.

On June 8, the Young Energy Professionals Network hosted an event at the BusinessNZ Energy Council's offices exploring the effects of new technologies on New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions.

On 16-17 March 2016, the BusinessNZ Energy Council and the World Energy Council (WEC) hosted the Asia-Pacific Energy Leaders' Summit, focussed on delivering Energy and Infrastructure Resilience. As a part of that, we held a NZ Future Energy Leader / Young Energy Professional Network workshop themed 'Investing in our Energy Future'. Around 25 of us got together for the workshop to deliver on our outcome "To become aligned on the barriers and opportunities to deliver a resilient energy system and generate a call to action for investing in our energy future".
