Advancing an Equitable Solar Workforce

Over the last four years, the deployment of floating solar has grown more than a hundredfold, surpassing the milestone threshold of 1 GW in September 2018. Although the vast majority of deployments in floating solar are currently limited to Asia, the technology is starting to make waves in Europe as well with various multi-megawatt projects in the pipeline. Simon Gazdowics, Solar Consultant at Multiconsult, was joined by Thomas Boersma, Project Manager at Solarplaza, to discuss the opportunities and challenges involved with floating solar photovoltaics (FPV).

Without a significant re-commitment to nuclear power and change to the policy environment, the United States will continue to shutter nuclear power plants over the next few decades. Existing nuclear plants comprise a critical wedge of reliable and zero-emission electricity. This webinar will review the policy actions of a few states to avert planned reactor closures. It will also explore electricity market options and federal programs that could adequately value nuclear power’s environmental benefits.

With the global installed renewable energy capacity expected to more than double by 2040, it is certain that renewables will be leading the transition to a sustainable energy system in the future. There has been tremendous growth in the production and adaption of renewables, fostered by the increasing awareness of these new technologies, as well as supporting policy, regulatory and tendering processes around the globe.

Hitachi Energy is bringing together a panel of expert voices from across the mining industry for a powerful and insightful discussion on how to “crack” the prevalent challenges faced by mines around the world today. Three major trends are fundamentally transforming the industry: digitalization, automation and the shift from diesel to electrification. Not only are mining operators dealing with aging infrastructure, declining grades, increasingly remote ore bodies and uncertain market conditions, but they’re also feeling the pressure to meet sustainability goals and adopt new digital technologies.
