Amit Mor, CEO of Eco Energy Financial & Strategic Consulting, emphasizes the need for a transition from oil and gas dependence to renewable energy sources, particularly in light of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This closure has led to increased oil and food prices, impacting countries like India, a major agricultural nation. Mor suggests that agrivoltaics, which integrates solar panels with agriculture, presents a significant opportunity for collaboration between India and Israel. He notes that the ongoing conflict is accelerating the shift to renewable energy and electric vehicles, enhancing energy security. Furthermore, Mor views the UAE's exit from OPEC as beneficial for consumers, as it may lead to an increase in oil production and a decrease in prices once the Strait of Hormuz reopens. He also underscores the strategic importance of the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC) for improving connectivity and energy security in the region.
