#Cleantechers – If you've worked in the U.S. clean energy industry, my most recent Scaling Clean guest will be familiar to you — and I'm not bashful about saying he's a great addition to the show. That's because George Hershman is one of the most prominent leaders in U.S. clean energy. He spent his career running SOLV Energy, formerly known as Swinerton Renewable Energy. He also recently served as the Chairman of the Solar Energy Industries Association. SOLV is a widely recognized EPC. It has built 8 GW of utility scale solar capacity and now manages over 9 GW across more than half the states in this country. If there is anyone who has collected a lifetime of leadership and management wisdom, it's George. Here are his B3P’s: 4:30 - You may be eager to take risks right off the bat, but it’s easier for a more mature company to take risks than it is for a new company. If you just started a business, be careful taking risks. Before starting a project, make sure you have the right people and a good understanding of your objectives first. 12:42 - Renewables have moved out of the era of policy dependence and niche markets. Renewables are now the lowest cost of energy and the fastest to deploy. It solves the biggest problems around energy distribution now that we have storage at scale. 23:29 - When interviewing new candidates, it’s important to determine how that person will make you feel comfortable and uncomfortable. When done the right way, people can be transparent and challenge your organization to be better. This is especially important for companies that have low turnover, who may have a narrowed point of view. Thank you, George, for coming on the show. 

John Engel and I discuss all things Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and transmission development on this week’s “Factor This!” Podcast from Renewable Energy World. Curious how last week’s big rulings in Order No. 1977 and Order No. 1920 relate to the larger effort to expand and modernize the electric grid, or wondering what these rules mean for your energy business? We touch on both these questions and more in our chat. Listen at the link below or wherever you listen to podcasts. #FERC #energytransition #transmissiondevelopment #renewableenergy

Episode #6 with Emeric de Vigan (VP Power at Kpler) about the Tsunami of Negative Electricity Prices is out! Can you guess how we will pay for electricity in the future? Listen to the full conversation here >> https://lnkd.in/eT84Fhnt Ravi Krishnan and Jose A. Martinez speak with Emeric within the Unlocking The Energy Trilemma Podcast, about the impact of having an oversupply of power generation and a lack of flexibility. #energytransition #renewables #flexiblegeneration #flexibledemand #electricityprices #power #sustainability

Surprising to learn that businesses are often the ones being left behind or impacted as we build out utility scale renewable energy. In this episode we learn about how the variability brought about by renewables creates both risks and opportunity for energy security/resilience for businesses and how VECKTA are changing the ways these companies adapt to fast changing energy space to save money and utilise more renewable power

This weeks Shape The System Podcast episode is all about business and energy. We interview VECKTA founder Gareth Evans about the risk and opportunity for medium to large businesses. With massive transformation happening in the utility scale energy generation businesses are starting to be left behind. Unable in a lot of cases to gain energy security for themselves they are limited to playing a passive role in both their own energy resilience as well as the transition to renewables generally.   Additionally as the transition and aging infrastructure is disrupted there is an impact of around of $150Bn a year in the US alone. To enable businesses to have resilient , affordable and renewable energy means helping them to understand the range of energy options available to them so they can gain energy security for themselves. VECKTA helps to solve this challenge for businesses by bringing a range of technologies and data in a way that lets them understand an optimal approach to any investment in energy infrastructure both today and in the future as the technology evolves. #podcast #energy #energysecurity

In a recent renewable energy podcast, Intersect Power CEO Sheldon Kimber shares why you should forget everything you know about clean energy development and is convinced a fresh business model is necessary to sustain an industry battered by rising capital costs. #renewableenergy

Happy New Year and all the best for 2023! When you need something exciting to listen enjoy our 13th series of the DNV Talks Energy podcast launched in December. Episodes to date: (8 December) Episode 1 – 1.5 degrees: the global outlook Guest: Ditlev Engel Together, they explore the key findings from DNV’s latest ETO, in particular the potential to rapidly scale up renewables and build out electrification. (15 December) Episode 2 – The global energy crisis: has net zero been sidelined? Guest: Kazunari Fukui, General Manager at GE Power Services This episode explores the ways that net zero can be kept in sight while the world faces urgent energy needs. **(Coming tomorrow! 5 January) Episode 3 – Global emissions: what are the hotspots? ** Guest: Mauricio Riveros, Energy Transition Associate Director at The Carbon Trust This episode explores the lack of understanding over what net zero means and how this is stalling the world’s progress. They also examine how a collaborative spirit globally must be found in order to reduce the world’s major emissions and ensure that all nations – not just richer ones – have the means to achieve this.   You can view all the episodes to date here: www.dnv.com/talksenergy DNV - Energy Systems #talksenergy #powersystems #renewables #podcast #energy #energytransition

It's Sunday, and in case you missed it amidst the hustle and bustle of the past week, here’s a fantastic opportunity for some recommended weekend listening. I had the privilege of hosting Matthew Boulton, Director of Solar, Storage, and Private Wire at EDF Renewables, on the latest episode of the #ClimateConfident #Podcast. We dove deep into the heart of innovation within the #RenewableEnergy sector, exploring groundbreaking projects that are not just illuminating paths to #sustainability but are actively carving out the roadmap towards a #NetZero future. From the intricacies of the Oxford Superhub Project's direct transmission network connections to the expansive potential of the Longfield Solar and Battery initiative, Matthew provided invaluable insights into how these ventures are shaping the energy landscape. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the transformative power of renewable energy, the dynamics of the transition towards greener solutions, and the role of technology in fostering a sustainable future. As we delve into the challenges, opportunities, and the profound impact of renewable projects on communities and the environment, I invite you to listen, reflect, and engage on this journey.
