Solar Energy opportunities in South East Asia (SEA)

The U.S. Offshore Wind Collaborative and Clean Energy States Alliance hosted the first of a three-part series of webinars for state energy and environmental officials on Building the U.S. Offshore Wind Supply Chain, on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 9:30-11 a.m. ET. For coastal and Great Lakes states working to help launch the U.S. offshore wind energy industry, the offshore wind supply chain represents an important opportunity to stimulate state and regional economic development. As states individually and regionally begin to consider their capacities to establish the complex infrastructure necessary to implement their offshore wind development strategies, there is much to be learned by looking at the experience of the world-leading UK offshore wind market. The first webinar in this series explained the components of the supply chain and lessons learned through the first two rounds of offshore wind development in the UK, providing participants with a comprehensive overview of the UK experience in offshore wind industry supply chain development.

Electric vehicles are here, and more are joining the roads every day. Hear from expert panelists as they discuss funding options available to install charging stations at your property and how some cities and towns have benefited from being EV-friendly. Learn about how you can be part of the EV revolution, even if you weren’t sure how quickly it would arrive!

The corporate world is the end consumer of almost 60% of all the energy produced in the world, making it a vital link in the global energy transition. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that - following the current path - by 2050 corporates will be taking up 18% of total renewable energy consumption. However, in order to stay below the 2 degrees Celsius limit defined at the Paris Climate Accords, this figure should be 80%. That is a large gap to fill. Multinational operations have large production and supply chain footprints across Asia, but struggle to find suitable ways to engage in renewable energy in a number of countries in the region. Solarplaza is hosting two webinars (20 & 27 September, 2018) dedicated to corporate renewable energy in Asia. During the webinars we will look at the market opportunities and bottlenecks for corporations to power their operations with renewable energy.

The transition to renewable energy is underway. This transition can be viewed through many lenses. General population lenses (Climate change is happening. We don’t know what we need to do exactly, but we’re doing it too slow!), Political lenses (How do we satisfy enough of our voters, how do we take credit for the good changes, and distance ourselves from the problems?), Commercial lenses (how can we profit from the transition?), Engineering lenses (How do we do this at all, considering safety, reliability, cost, and technical limitations?), and others.
