Happy National Energy Awareness Month from all of us at ASP! As a proud advocate for renewable energy, we believe that every step toward sustainability counts. Here are some ways you can make a difference this month: - Go Solar: Switching to solar energy not only reduces your electricity bills but also your carbon footprint! - Energy-Efficient Lighting: Replace traditional bulbs with LED lights to maximize energy savings. - Mind Your Usage: Unplug devices when they’re not in use to conserve energy. - Public Transport: Consider using public transit to lower your overall energy consumption. Let’s work together for a brighter, greener future! 🌍💚

As we gear up for the 4th of July celebrations tomorrow, it's a perfect moment to reflect on the incredible energy innovations that power our lives. Fireworks will soon light up the sky with spectacular displays, but did you know they don't actually produce usable energy? Instead, they release stored chemical energy in bursts of sound and light. While visually stunning, they aren't a source of sustainable power. In contrast, solar panels harness the abundant energy from the sun to power our homes and businesses. Solar energy is clean, renewable, and increasingly affordable, making it a cornerstone of our transition to a more sustainable future. At EnergyAid, we’re passionate about educating homeowners on the benefits of solar power and helping them optimize their solar systems. As we prepare for the festivities, let’s also consider how we can continue to innovate and embrace renewable energy solutions for a brighter tomorrow. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Independence Day celebration! 🌞🎆 #FourthOfJuly #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #EnergyAid

🌞 Harnessing the Power of the Sun: Solar Energy Illuminated! 🌍☀️ Did you know that solar energy is one of the most abundant and sustainable sources of power on our planet? 🌱☀️ Solar energy is derived from the radiant light and heat of the sun, which is captured using various technologies such as solar panels and photovoltaic cells. This renewable energy source offers countless benefits, from reducing carbon emissions to lowering electricity bills and creating jobs in the green energy sector. As we strive towards a greener future, embracing solar energy plays a pivotal role in combating climate change and building a more sustainable world for generations to come. With advancements in technology and increasing affordability, solar power is becoming more accessible to communities and businesses worldwide. Let's harness the boundless energy of the sun to illuminate a brighter, cleaner future for all! ☀️💚 Together, let's power the world with sunshine! 🌞✨

Did you know that embracing clean energy can also unveil the treasures of our past? 🌞💡 We embarked on creating a PV park in Puglia with 103 MW capacity. Of course, it was something we were thrilled about, but perhaps it’s not the most unique story for a renewable energy developer. But there's more to it. 🏛️ Our excavations unearthed historical gems right beside our plant. We discovered a basilica from the 6th-8th centuries, a vast necropolis, and relics from as far back as the 4th millennium B.C. In this case, the kilowatts of clean energy illuminate not just our homes but the pages of our rich heritage.

WoahWee Wednesday! 🦄 Another edition of the happiest and sparkliest climate & energy posts on your Linkedin feed. ✨ As we run towards deep decarbonisation, our best bet isn't just swapping out fuels—it's actually transforming how we power our world. 💡 Many of our energy processes rely on fossil fuels, from driving our cars to heating our homes. The game-changing strategy and challenge? Convert these to electricity and shift our electricity supply to 100% renewables. This isn't just about plugging in more devices; it's about revolutionising our grid and how we think about energy consumption. Now, why 'electrify everything'? It's the safest, most economical route to reducing carbon emissions across buildings, transport, and industries. 🌱 Plus, it avoids the pitfalls of alternatives like biofuels, which can actually harm more than help our climate goals. The challenge? We must grow our electric supply MASSIVELY—think tripling or quadrupling it! This means building new infrastructures, like EV charging stations and hydrogen networks, all while accelerating the greening of our grid. Mark Jacobson, a leading researcher on deep decarbonisation of energy, and his team at Stanford put together this list of technologies (or WWS= wind, water, solar 'diagram') considering different combinations of which can be used to build 100% clean energy solutions anywhere in the world. Kudos to Mark for this beautiful and simple, yet powerful, diagram! (https://lnkd.in/gPbPBySd) Knowing the challenges, where we're at, and what needs to be done makes me even more excited about the innovation around Energy and systems happening right now. I'm doubly happy to see some incredible Startupbootcamp Energy champion startups doing pretty cool things in the space (and by 'pretty cool things', I mean 'Wow') next week at Power + Utilities Australia Transformers Hub! See you there? 📅 7th and 8th May 📍 MCEC Melbourne https://lnkd.in/eMNTZZwH

While solar energy is naturally a sustainable resource, solar projects still need to put sustainability at the center of their design and operations. How? By finding another sustainable use for the land they occupy to provide benefits beyond solar power generation. Explore the latest trend in solar development: dual-use solar 👇

Thanks Sempergreen Group for great discussions yesterday on how to establish green roof + solar as the standard on buildings in Europe! Europe adds about 500 million sqm new flat rooftop every year, about 3% is green, and a bit more of it solar. However, most new flat roofs are still empty, which is a pity with all the value they can provide to their owners and the urban environment! Great to have valuable input about the workings of the PV market in the Netherlands with OTG.energy - innovatie in duurzame energie and SamenStromen.

October 2024 marks my one year at EDF Renewables! Thank you to my biggest professional supporters Louis Dewavrin and Karen Low! As I reflect on my first year, I’m filled with gratitude for the journey we've (myself and my colleagues) taken together thus far. This role has been both a challenge and a privilege, and over the past year, we’ve made remarkable progress in enhancing our commitment to sustainable wind energy development while safeguarding the environment. Here are 8 things that made me happy and stronger over the last year; 1. Engaging in important topics such as Blade painting, SDoD and curtailment. 2. Having the privilege to support 7 projects in construction, totalling 1015 gigawatts. 3. Visiting the 480 MW Saint-Nazaire Offshore wind farm in France and conceptualising the biodiversity impacts of offshore vs. onshore wind farms. 4. Advocating for the environment by finding creative ways to enhance our environmental and biodiversity compliance. This includes integrating environmental awareness across all project phases and educating teams on species and their ecological roles within renewable energy. 5. Building a new team with diverse skill sets within the Environmental Performance Unit, intentionally bringing in talent from various industries for different perspectives. 6. Driving environmental stewardship at corporate, construction, and board levels, and having challenging conversations that influence management decisions. While these often have high-cost implications and reputational consequences, the goal is to ensure the company complies with all legal requirements. 7. Transitioning into a leadership role and understanding how any decision impact project constructability. 8. Moving to Cape Town and experiencing the city’s harshest winter 🥶! To many more years!
