Wärtsilä's future-proof balancing power portfolio

We engineers like theories, charts and bullet points. But the issues involved in the energy transition have real consequences. Not just for us, but everyone on the planet.

To push our team to find the right answers, we turned to the only people big enough to ask the right questions: kids. In this breakthrough series of interviews, our top executives are grilled on the environmental impact, the technology, the economics and the feasibility of balancing technology - by the very people who are going to have to live in the future we’re creating now.

Episode 1: Saving the planet

Wärtsilä is convinced that balancing is the path to a 100% renewable energy future. But if Business Director of Europe for Wärtsilä Energy, Pekka Tolonen, really is here to save the planet, what other superpowers does he have? Our interviewer Anton (10) decided to find out.

Episode 2: Speaking economics

Wärtsilä’s balancing technology is a compelling long term investment. And yet, wonders Ida, (13), if the wind and sun are both free - why is anyone paying for it at all? Vice President of Africa & Europe of Wärtsilä Energy, Björn Ullbro, was on hand to crunch the numbers.

Episode 3: Talking tech

Wärtsilä’s balancing technology is already bringing the future closer in many countries. But does it come with a decent app? Our reporter Ralph (11) asks the Product Director at Wärtsilä Energy, Rasmus Teir, the tech questions others don’t dare.

Episode 4: Changing energy

Wärtsilä’s balancing technology is making the energy transition a reality. But what about the future we’re transitioning to? Will everyone’s energy come from the sun and wind - and will there be unicorns? Alma (8), asks Anja Frada, Vice President for Strategy & Business Development at Wärtsilä Energy the tough questions.
