HOUSTON (January 25, 2023) –U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm will address delegates at the 41st annual CERAWeek by S&P Global, March 6-10 in Houston. 

Secretary Granholm will join the world’s energy industry leaders, experts, government officials and policymakers, as well as leaders from the technology, financial and industrial communities addressing this year’s conference. 

“We are pleased again to welcome Secretary Granholm to CERAWeek,” said Daniel Yergin, conference chair and Vice Chairman of S&P Global. “At a time of great turbulence in energy, her perspective will be an important and timely contribution to the critical dialogue about energy and policy. Her central role on the implementation and direction of major U.S. legislation—such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act—will be a source of great interest. Since delivering her inaugural energy address as U.S. Secretary of Energy at CERAWeek 2021, her participation has been a significant contribution to CERAWeek and has great impact.” 

The CERAWeek 2023 conference program will explore key themes related to: 

  • The Energy Trilemma: Balancing security, transition and affordability 
  • Geopolitics and Geoeconomics: An era of volatility 
  • Competitive Landscape, Technology and Innovation 
  • Financing the Energy Future: The capital transition 
  • Supply Chains, Commodity Markets and Energy Transition 
  • Future Workforce: Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and next-generation skills 
The week-long event will also include the CERAWeek Innovation Agora, serving as the center of technology and innovation programming at the conference. Featuring a community of thought leaders, technologists, start-ups, investors, academics, energy companies and government officials, the Innovation Agora will showcase transformational technology platforms in the energy space ranging from digitalization, AI, cybersecurity, analytics and connectivity, robotics, blockchain, additive manufacturing, mobility and decarbonization technologies.
