The Honourable Tony Wakeham, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Honourable Lloyd Parrott, Minister of Energy and Mines, will attend Cambridge Energy Research Associates Week (CERAWeek) 2026 in Houston, Texas, from March 23 to 27.
Coming on the heels of the Bay du Nord announcement, this event is a unique opportunity to promote Newfoundland and Labrador’s energy potential on the world stage. Premier Wakeham and Minister Parrott will take part in speaking events, receptions and meetings with company officials and investors as they promote Newfoundland and Labrador and seek new investment opportunities.
CERAWeek is one of the world’s leading energy conferences. It brings together global leaders from the energy industry, governments, technology firms, and finance to discuss key issues shaping energy markets including oil and gas, renewables, energy security, climate policy, and the energy transition.
Newfoundland and Labrador is an established leader in oil and gas, critical minerals, mining, hydroelectricity, and rapidly expanding renewable energy sectors. Attendance at CERAWeek will provide an important opportunity for provincial officials to advance these industries, build partnerships, and highlight the province’s role in meeting global energy needs.
