IN LIGHT of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the organisers of Middle East Energy Dubai 2026 have announced that the event, originally scheduled for this month at the Dubai World Trade Centre, has been postponed to September. This year’s edition holds particular significance as it marks the 50th anniversary of the region’s leading energy industry event, said organiser Informa.

MEE 2026 enables organisations to compare solutions, engage directly with suppliers, and accelerate project progress. 

The prestigious energy industry event, which was scheduled to be held from April 7 to 9, will now run from September 1 to 3.

Ahmed Al Kaabi, Assistant Undersecretary for the Electricity, Water and Future Energy Sector at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, affirmed that the ministry’s patronage of the 50th edition reflects the UAE’s commitment to supporting specialised international platforms that enhance energy system integration and reinforce the country’s position as a global hub for dialogue and cooperation in the energy sector.

The event is anticipated to attract global exhibitors, alongside broad participation from senior officials and decision-makers. The previous edition had recorded commercial participation valued at approximately $4.05 billion, with 1,600 exhibitors and around 30,000 visitors and energy professionals, said the organisers.

More than 1,200 senior officials and decision-makers had attended the event, reflecting its global reach and influence, they added.
