Iberdrola, like many other companies, has taken drastic action to evolve to meet current — and future — demands and ensure its continued success. A huge portion of its progress in recent years has occurred under the leadership and direction of its Executive Chairman Ignacio Galán, who, through his career, has managed some of the world’s largest companies in a variety of industries and has helped propel them to new heights. Speaking on the company's success he said: “We are very proud of what we have been building at Iberdrola over the past two decades, in line with our century-long history. And we want to continue driving the transition towards an energy system based on renewable energy, grids and storage to build a more sustainable, fair, fraternal, supportive and prosperous society and a more habitable planet for new generations.” Find out more about Ignacio's plan to drive electrification below! #Electrification #Sustainability #ESG

Lead Lawyer based in Prague, Bratislava, Linz at Siemens Energy, s.r.o. and member of the Board of Directors of Správa majetkového portfolia Praha 3 a.s.
German conglomerate Siemens Energy is reportedly planning to install a green hydrogen plant in Mexico's Lázaro Cárdenas port, Michoacán state. The port is the country’s second busiest, handling 13.7Mt of cargo in the first half of 2023, and the news was first reported Wednesday by outlet Global Energy México, which said the initiative would be led by Siemens Energy, with a unit operating in Mexico. On its website, Siemens Energy describes the benefits and potential for green hydrogen but does not mention its portfolio in Mexico. “We are excited to see what this hydrogen economy of the future will look like, and we will be at the forefront of it every step of the way,” according to the website. Last week, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Danish investment fund Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) will invest US$10bn in a new green hydrogen plant in Oaxaca state and take charge of building one of 10 planned industrial parks along the interoceanic corridor. BNamericas has identified six other projects that were recently added to Mexico’s green hydrogen pipeline in various states. #siemensenergy #H2B https://lnkd.in/dN2vJ3Ky

We asked one of our Division Managers, James Pinder, some quick fire questions about all things renewables... 1. What have you found candidates are looking for most in a new role? As per the recent poll on LI, the number 1 mover is still career growth, with pay being number 2. Career growth in Renewable Energy often looks like taking on more responsibility, managing larger projects, in terms of size and budget, or leading larger teams. 2. Why are people leaving current roles? Aside from the usual reasons: poor management, lack of growth and learning opportunities, we have seen one big reason. Candidates working for foreign-owned companies, specifically Chinese manufacturers are banging down the door of companies with domestic manufacturing capabilities as they are worried about the future of their firm after the US government’s stance on banning Chinese imports. 3. What are the most in demand skillset you’re seeing in Renewables? Given the long interconnection in CAISO, many firms are eager to hire candidates with experience developing projects in other regions, the pacific north west (PNW) is a hot spot we are seeing Several large players are investing in their Green Hydrogen division. Candidates who have successfully developed H2 projects are few and far between, thus in high demand 4. What is most exciting about Renewables right now? The rate of innovation in the Renewable Energy space in north America is truly astounding. The presence of large investment funds, providing the necessary finances to transition away from traditional energy sources is resulting in dozens of new companies popping up week after week. This will no doubt bring with it new ways of thinking and operating. Thanks for your thoughts, James 🙂 #OPRenewables #Renewables #RenewablesTrends
