This week, the podcast reports from the POWERful Women Annual Conference, one of the most influential gatherings in the global energy calendar. In a year where the UK prepares for 40% of women to be in energy leading roles by 2030, the stakes have never been higher and neither has the opportunity to reshape who leads the industry.

Across a packed day of panels, workshops and networking, our host, Alex Wolfe, interviewed an extraordinary lineup of energy leaders, policymakers and diversity champions. They all stand by one clear message: advancing gender balance in energy leadership is essential to powering the future.

Wolfe Power Club and POWERful Women will be at the upcoming International Energy Week in February 2026.
