Preparations are in full swing to host the Global Energy Leaders’ Summit (GELS) 2025 in Puri, Odisha, from 5 to 7 December 2025.
The Odisha Power Department has started mobilizing resources and assigning responsibility to officials for the successful organization of GELS.
The logo of the event, symbolizing harmony between nature and innovation, has already been unveiled by Union Minister of State for Power and New and Renewable Energy Shripad Yesso Naik along with Kanak Vardhan Singh De, Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Power, Agriculture and Farmer Empowerment of Odisha.
The official website of the summit was also launched.
The theme of the summit “Powering India: Sufficiency, Balance, Innovation” underlines three interrelated priorities: ensuring adequate and efficient power, achieving harmony between ecology and economy, and promoting innovation across the energy sector.
GELS will convene Union and State Energy Ministers and Secretaries, policy makers, innovators, researchers and industry leaders to shape India’s shared energy future, the statement said.
The summit marks the beginning of a long-term platform for dialogue between energy leaders from different countries and national and global experts.
According to the power ministry, the discussions will focus on meeting India’s growing energy demand, enhancing reliability and security of supply, promoting sustainable growth while respecting ecological boundaries, and accelerating the energy transition through frontier technologies and digital tools.
A key highlight will be reflections on current and emerging trends in the energy sector, including small and modular nuclear reactors, green hydrogen and digital grid security.
The statement further said that the high-impact initiative is organized in collaboration with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK). It will be the first pan-India platform of its kind. Similar models created by TBI have produced significant results elsewhere, such as regional forums for education ministers in Latin America and communities of energy ministers in several African countries.
