🌍 Highlights of the Week in the Engineering Sector 🌎   Here are some of the top news stories happening in the world of renewable energy for our EU and US markets:   1️⃣ EU aims to become climate-neutral by 2050 🇪🇺   The target for EU's 20230 renewable energy goal has increased from 32% to 42.5% with the aim of achieving the goal of climate-neutral by 2050. They will need significant investments to build new renewable energy infrastructures and to update the current grids. Research will also continue on improving the efficiency and affordability of renewable energy technologies.   2️⃣ Ørsted to begin $4 Billion Revolution Wind Project in Spring 2024 🇺🇸   After issues faced in 2023, this is just one of several projects in development to increase the country's offshore wind capacity. The project will supply 704 MW to consumers in Rhode Island and Connecticut - a positive step towards the goal of 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.

Nothing but blue skies and endless opportunity. Ashtrom Renewable Energy is pleased to announce the execution of the Large Grid Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) with Idaho Power for our Soles Rest project.   The project will have a planned capacity of 149 MWac and is located in Elmore County, Idaho, approximately 30 miles southeast of Boise. The grid connection work is expected to be completed by 2027 and have a planned commercial operation date soon after.   Ashtrom Renewable Energy, along with its US development partner, OnPeak Power, are working on various development workstreams, aiming to bring the project to a ready-to-build status under the project development plan.   Ashtrom Renewable Energy is seeking to diversify its development pipeline in new geographic markets in the US, and the Soles Rest project in Idaho is an additional example of our pipeline growth within the US.   #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #Finance #Investment #AshtromRenewableEnergy

▶ What new technologies can optimize the flexible utilization of energy from solar and wind, and how can we improve our ability to store it?   These are some of the questions shaping the currently disrupted energy market, with both the research sector and private companies attempting to gain an overview and predict developments.   It's not easy – but a new initiative might make the task slightly easier: Norlys Energy Trading A/S, an Aalborg-based company owned by Norlys and Eurowind Energy, has in March employed the first four staff members in its brand-new research and development unit, Energy ResearchLab.   Aalborg University contributes with research to shed light on the future energy system, and the Head of Department, Lasse Rosendahl, sees it as "a superb example of focused collaboration with the business sector on research." Professor Frede Blaabjerg also sees significant perspectives for energy educational programs:   - Normally, our students have to find companies interested in hiring, for example, a business PhD, themselves. Now, Norlys Energy Trading is reaching out to us in a context where research has great importance for the future of energy. That's truly interesting!   The collaboration will give students access to far more real datasets, unique opportunities to research future energy forms, and notably new job opportunities, he expects. Among the first employees at Energy ResearchLab is Monika Sandelic, who has completed a master's in Energy & Engineering at AAU and has just finished her PhD studies. She now has the opportunity to continue in a business postdoc position at Norlys Energy Trading. ▶ Watch this Danish news segment from Monday evening: https://lnkd.in/dZwZn3iT   Read more at https://lnkd.in/eDfHJZTk

According to industry experts, one of the main ways to address the skills shortage in Renewables is to shift the focus onto transferable skills. In sourcing talent outside our industry, we can partner with people from other industries that might be open to making the switch to green energy! 🌍 Here are some of ersg's top transferable skills: #renewableenergyjobs #transferableskills #renewableenergy #greenenergy #windenergy #solarenergy #offshorejobs

The Renewable Energy Skills Partnership has published a paper outlining 18 recommendations across 4 priority areas on how to address the skills gap and build a future-ready renewables workforce. Each section features input from involved renewable energy ETIPs. The Partnership is calling on the Commission to prioritise renewable energy skills and workforce building in policymaking, and boost the visibility and attractiveness of technical, scientific, and engineering renewable careers, amongst other measures.

A new Power Generation Group within the National Skills Academy for Power (NSAP) has been launched by Energy & Utility Skills. The power generation sector is advancing rapidly with technologies such as carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), energy from waste, wind, and other renewable sources. These advancements are creating numerous job opportunities, with further anticipated industry growth indicating a requirement for an additional 70,000 skilled professionals within the offshore wind sector alone by 2030. https://bit.ly/48v6vlz

A renewable energy project that promised to change history seems to have failed. At the moment, there is only desert and an apparent loss of 2 billion dollars. Human beings are going through a period of energy transition. We need energy and several initiatives have already appeared that promise to exploit infinite and renewable energy. However, not all the proposals that appear to try to meet human needs are successful. Sometimes they fall by the wayside due to lack of budget, impossibility of exploitation or disparity of opinions among the agents involved. The latter is the problem that has led a renewable project with great potential to be put on standby. https://lnkd.in/drHceyeV
