Shaping a Collaborative Energy Landscape
Lawrence Jones is Senior Vice President of EEI International Programs.
As countries around the world set expansive climate goals, electric companies play an essential role in driving change to reduce carbon emissions and deliver resilient clean energy. The electric power industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by advancements in technology, changing customer expectations, and the urgent need to mitigate climate change.
Yet, time remains an impediment to taking the necessary steps to achieve our climate goals. What can be done to accelerate our progress? How can we position our organizations to be successful and deliver greater value to customers, investors, and society at large? Knowledge sharing has the potential to catalyze learning and spur innovation within our industry and across the global economy.
Multidirectional Knowledge
An ecosystem of globally shared knowledge should be multidirectional. In a multidirectional system, industry experts share their expertise and learn from the diverse network of energy practitioners. Lessons learned, success stories, and even failures become invaluable stepping stones on the path towards a sustainable energy future.
Companies should leverage professional networks and collaborative partnerships to swiftly adapt to emerging challenges, identify untapped opportunities, and drive transformative change to create more resilient and sustainable energy systems.
