Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Conference 2026
A rare place where energy, climate-tech, policy, capital, and real-world deployment truly meet – not as buzzwords, but as concrete conversations and collaborations.
Across panels and side conversations, one message kept resurfacing: electricity is the critifal infrastructure of the new economy.
As electrification accelerates and demand surges – particularly from data centers, industry, and digital infrastructure – electricity is increasingly becoming a strategic bottleneck. This is no longer a future challenge; it is already shaping planning, investment, and deployment decisions.
A highlight of the conference was a panel moderated by Yael Barash Harman, Israel Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure – משרד האנרגיה והתשתיות, where Amir Horowitz, our CEO, shared perspectives on scaling frontier energy technologies – from early-stage innovation to real-world deployment – emphasizing how 𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗟 works with startups and strategic partners to translate deep-tech breakthroughs into solutions that can operate within real energy systems and market constraints.
Another key discussion brought together CEOs from across the Israeli power sector, including Ayalon Alain Vaniche, CEO of EDF power solutions Israel – one of our founding partners – to examine how electricity market reform, regulation, and grid management will ultimately determine the pace and scale of renewable energy deployment.
In a separate session focused on the industrial side of the transition, Shlomi Basson, Deputy CEO of the BAZAN Group Oil Refineries Ltd – also a founding partner – discussed the evolution from hydrogen to SAF and the future of green fuels, alongside Ben Achrai, VP of Technology at RepAir Carbon Capture, who presented an electrochemical approach for capturing low-concentration CO₂ streams.
One of those conferences you simply have to attend – a reminder that the energy transition is built through people, partnerships, and long-term thinking.
