II CPLP Energy Conference Launched at COP29
The event, organized by RELOP, will take place on May 27–28, 2025, in Cascais.
On November 15, 2024, the Portugal Pavilion at COP29, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, hosted the official launch of the II Energy Conference of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP).
The ceremony featured RELOP, represented by Dércio Monteiro from the National Petroleum Institute (INP), which currently holds the Association’s vice-presidency. During his speech, Monteiro highlighted the importance of “promoting an environment conducive to the development of partnerships and the formulation of joint strategies that positively impact our countries.” He further noted that this ambition has already begun to take shape through the CPLP Energy and Climate Seminar Series. Monteiro stressed that the success of the conference will depend on the participants’ “ability to turn ideas into actions,” inviting everyone to actively engage in the event and discussions on the energy future of the Lusophone space.
Over two days, Cascais will host discussions on the latest developments and anchor projects in energy transitions across CPLP countries, aiming to enhance endogenous resources and diversify the energy mix. This effort seeks to ensure universal, reliable, and affordable access to energy while supporting socioeconomic development.
This high-level event, featuring Energy Ministers from CPLP countries, will provide numerous networking and visibility opportunities through plenary and parallel sessions, an exhibition area, social zones, and a VIP gala dinner.
The II CPLP Energy Conference is scheduled for May 27–28, 2025, at the Estoril Congress Center in Cascais. Organized by RELOP in partnership with the Lusophone Association for Renewable Energies (ALER), the event is promoted by São Tomé and Príncipe’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Natural Resources under the São Toméan presidency of the CPLP.
