Interviews

Jan Larsson

This shift in perspective was caused by the urgency of the green transition - which can be only achieved if all players accept the idea that everyone is equally important for developing the business model of the future.

Gunter Erfurt

The global PV success story is happening on the basis of leading European technology.

Chris Bolliger

Everybody recognizes that Europe needs the sector to grow, but price still rules the market; as long as this is the case, we will have a difficult time changing the world.

Pieter van Oord

We are going to see a mix in the world - in the countries around the equator development of solar energy, and in the northern and the southern hemispheres onshore and offshore wind projects, because there is plenty of wind there.

Bertrand Villon

It is not for investors to design the future energy infrastructure of a country. We need government policy to work in tandem with the private sector, which is not yet happening. Finance cannot solve it alone. 

Richard Williams

We also looked into the future, to see if there was any technology that could replace ours, and the answer was that this would be in place for the next 20 years.

Ben Greenhouse

We do expect the IRA to have a knock-on effect on Canada, particularly in terms of wind- and solar-energy supply chains, where high demand south of the border has the potential to reduce supply for Canada or to increase lead times.

Dr. Tom Buttgenbach

A lot of this transition is software-driven, and it enables a future in the energy sector that is not just clean and sustainable, but also more reliable and a lot more responsive than the system we have today. 

Percy Lakdawalla

Likewise, machine learning and AI are allowing us access to real time information. This is the direction the world is moving in, and it allows companies to improve their operations and change their course if needed.
