The IHS CERAWeek 2016 being held in Houston, Texas is huge. The Conference whose theme is “Energy Transition: Strategies for a New World” covers many topics, too, including global markets, technology, competitive strategies, industry structure, regulatory policy and geopolitics. Participants are essentially leaders and executives in oil, natural gas, power, coal, nuclear and renewable energy industries.
The President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, gave the opening remarks on February 22, 2016. He also received the prestigious IHS CERAWeek Global Energy Lifetime Achievement Award. This Award was given the Mexican President in recognition of his leadership in transforming Mexico’s energy industry which the organizers of the conference explain as follows: “No country has more profoundly modernized every aspect of its energy sector — from oil and gas, to power and renewable energy, to the sale of refined products — in such a short time…Already these changes are bringing lower electricity prices to the Mexican people. They promise to capture the best technologies to restore Mexico’s position as a world leader in oil and gas. It took profound leadership to put Mexico on this course and to make this transformation real. For this we honor President Enrique Peña Nieto.” FULL STORY
