Port of San Diego’s Post

Many thanks to all who attended for making this a very lively debate. The conversation also got round to other topics including: attracting and retaining talent, ESG and net-zero strategies post COP26, offshore wind, and the investment conundrum. #netzero #esgreporting #esginvesting #energytransition #people

It’s exciting being on the organizing committee and seeing the speaker line up. I will be co-moderating the Efficiency First panel. Energy saving strategies in buildings can reduce energy demand by 35-50% so less energy of any kind is needed, and then a given amount of solar panels can power more buildings. National, state, and local organizations are training workers to make energy-efficient improvements and test them to provide verification. Many new jobs are being created in these easy to learn building sciences. Exchange ideas and learn more about it at SOLAR 2024

Every year, we try to encourage students to explore their creativity and deploy their knowledge to address societal issues and challenges through the TC Young Professional Creative Challenge. This year, we have participants who need your support and encourage for the work they have done under the theme Waste Management/Renewable Energy. For context: The Task The main activity of the challenge is to engage children in a problem identification and solving exercise, through which they are expected to examine an issues affecting them/community and design a project and solution which they present via a write up, an artefact or model and a video following the theme and task for the year. The task this year is encouraging children to gather the right information, knowledge and local martials that can enable them to adopt wise and responsible waste management/energy preservation and consumption practices as well as mechanisms to transform waste into renewable energy. This challenge invites children to identify and situate a specific problem (either on waste or energy) in a given context of their choice (their house, school or community,) and reflect on the current practices and issues around waste disposal and management, as well as energy usage or challenges (shortage or lack). Once a specific problem has been identified, the children are expected to clearly state and describe this problem and explain how it affects them/others in the chosen context (home, school or community), and then propose a sustainable solution to solve this problem detailing the developmental stages and processes of their solution and its implementation. Their projects are presented in the form of a written story, an arts work (drawing, painting, chart or craft or artefact) and a video, where they outline the various issues of the project (their name, the chosen problem, the nature of the problem the project is addressing, those affected and how, and the solution). So, what you are seeing (videos) is just a part of the challenge- Thanks for supporting.

“This guide sets a very clear road map across the life cycle of a precinct to ensure all stakeholders are working effectively towards a common goal. By electrifying precincts properly from the beginning, we will see huge environmental and financial benefits for many generations to come.”

💬 A few weeks ago, the ACCE project joined the European Investor Dialogue on Energy! Our development manager Stanislas d'Herbemont joined conversation, presentied key insights and recommendations for financing energy communities. Building on these insights, REScoop.eu formulates several key recommendations for financing energy communities across Europe: 1. Create dedicated tools and support programs. 2. Leverage energy community networks 3. Energy community projects need to be considered in a holistic approach of the investment rather than its pure financial performance 4. Create local partnerships and clarify expectations 🌱 Check out the blog post ! https://bit.ly/3UCbVac REScoop.eu Energie Samen Zelena energetska zadruga (ZEZ) GoiEner Bündnis Bürgerenergie Énergie Partagée Cooperativa de Energie Burgercoöperatie Ecopower

We wrap up week 2 of our Conference Countdown with Jurassic Spark: Real Estate Adventures in Renewable Energy. Development of a generation station is a multi-year process that requires land control, interconnection, permitting, regulatory and offtake arrangements to come together before a project is able to commences construction and obtain debt and equity financing. This panel will discuss common strategies and challenges that arise during the development process through construction from the real estate perspective. https://lnkd.in/ddPNEZhE

Our proposed offshore wind farm project isn't just about clean energy—it's a commitment to catalyze progress. We're dedicated to fostering economic growth through diverse supply chains, driving innovation across industries, and propelling port development statewide. Our deep-rooted community investments will empower programs for supply chain development, ensuring widespread benefits from the renewable energy transition. 💪Let's shape a future that's sustainable and inclusive creating economic advancement for New Yorkers. https://lnkd.in/ekMPgnqK

Great to be apart of this (I am the afro on the left 😁) Very useful to me in my work at the Office of Sustainability on Thermal Energy Networks.
