Preparing for a post-pandemic future
In less than six months, COVID-19 has led to dramatic changes around the world. How will this pandemic change the future and energy transition?
While it is impossible to predict the future of energy, we can prepare and shape what comes after the crisis. The World Energy Council has developed four plausible scenarios to explore how we can emerge from the crisis as a more resilient society and continue to accelerate a successful global energy transition.
The Council has also launched a Scenarios World EnergyTransition Radar to collate signals of change from around the world to help the global energy community see through the current fog of uncertainty and enable a strategic conversation on plausible and alternative futures.
Future Energy Leaders were invited to participate at the Signals Scanning competition (during June-August 2020) and contribute to shaping a leadership conversation on different futures.
Signals Scanning Competition results
The Future Energy Leaders community made a great contribution in piloting the World Energy Tranisition Radar. More than 35 FELs participated in the competition, and more than 2,700 signals were detected.

Special thanks
The FELs Signals Competition would not happen without support and commitmnet of the core FELs team – Olga Bogdanova, Pedro Ernesto Ferreira, Reem Irany, Harry Padiachy, Nishant Sharma, Alejandra Salazar.
What next
Leaders cannot wait until they to know for sure what will happen next. Instead they can design better recovery plans and strategies by engaging with uncertainty – detecting and interpreting signals of change and using a set of alternative energy futures.
FELs are encouraged to continue scanning and sharing new signals emerging from the around the world to help facilitate a discussion on the energy future.
