What are the main trends you see coming into the energy industry?

It is an exciting and ever-evolving market place under increasing political and environmental pressure. An antiquated transmission infrastructure system is bringing about a clash between renewables and utility transmission systems. 

The power utility sector faces a need for radical and immediate investment in order to accommodate the onslaught of solar, wind and batteries being built. Innovation will be a key factor when integrating renewables and demand side management. Demand side management will be key to reducing carbon footprint and will help balance supply/demand during peak periods.

It offers a challenging and fulfilling career path for those wanting to be involved in an ever-evolving business sector making an immediate impact upon the world.
