A professional delegation headed by the the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure’s Director General Yossi Dayan, has represented Israel in the prestigious CERA Week conference in Huston, Texas in mid March 2025. The leading global energy conference constitutes a strategic stage for encounters among leading decision makers in the global energy market. Among the delegation’s members are Chen Bar Yoseph, Director of the Natural Resources Administration in the ministry and Amir Shavit, chairman of the Electricity Authority.
Director General of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, Yossi Dayan: “The participation of the professional delegation from Israel in this leading energy conference in the U.S. bolsters our status as a significant player in the global energy market and will allow us to present Israel’s capabilities in the field. The conference constitutes an important opportunity to deepen international cooperation and to promote energy solutions that will contribute to strengthening Israel’s energy security.”
As part of the conference, Director General Dayan met with senior public administration officials on the topic of global strategy and policy in the field of energy, and with senior representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy and from leading energy companies from around the globe. These meetings were held with the aim of continuing to promote discussion and cooperation in the energy sector among government bodies and leading companies in the field.
The conference, organized each year by S&P Global, will focus this year on future challenges in the fields of energy security, reliability of supply and global climate goals. The participation of the Israeli delegation will be especially important in light of the complex energy challenges with which Israel has dealt in the past year, and will constitute an opportunity to tighten connections in the field of energy with strategic partners.
Only recently, the Israeli government has approved the proposal submitted by the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Eli Cohen, to extend the partnership between the Israeli Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure together with the Israeli Innovation Authority and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for five more years. This long standing cooperation has led so far to dozens of joint pioneering technological projects and has contributed to creating jobs and to supporting new technologies in the field.
