Towards a 100% renewable energy future

Towards a 100% renewable energy future

The energy landscape is in transition towards more flexible and sustainable energy systems. We envision a 100% renewable energy future.

Wärtsilä is leading the transition – we understand, design, build and serve optimal power systems for future generations.

Today we are far away from a 100% renewable energy future. However, renewables are starting to become the new baseload, pushing inflexible power generation out of the system.

Engines and storage will provide the needed flexibility to balance renewables and secure reliability.

  

Energy Transition talks

The energy transition is real. So, we decided to let the proof points speak for themselves.

In Wärtsilä’s new Energy Transition Talks series, Sushil Purohit, President of Wärtsilä Energy, travels around the world virtually, visiting energy transition trailblazers from his living room.

These industry pioneers are Wärtsilä’s customers and partners. They take you on a journey where you learn how power systems are already moving towards 100% renewable energy future; what the key energy transition milestones are and how new opportunities are turned into feasible projects.

In the second Energy Transition Talks episode, we meet Dennis Stansbury, Senior Vice-President of B2Gold. 

"GEMS is basically the quarter-back of the team"

In this video, Sushil Purohit, President of Wärtsilä Energy, speaks to Dennis Stansbury, Senior Vice-President at B2Gold, about how their Fekola Gold Mine, in Mali, West Africa reduced their dependency on expensive fuel, lowered their carbon emissions and optimised their mining operations by using our energy storage and GEMS Digital Energy Platform.

In the first Energy Transition Talks episode, we meet Matt Allen, CEO of UK-based battery storage and EV infrastructure developer, Pivot Power. 

With his team, Matt is spearheading the development of an underexplored topic; how electric vehicles (EV) can be integrated into the grid. This is where the joint energy storage projects of Pivot Power and Wärtsilä come in; they bring the needed flexibility for the EV infrastructure.

Wärtsilä Caribbean Energy transition talk

Special guests Wärtsilä CEO Håkan Agnevall, and President, Wärtsilä Energy & EVP Wärtsilä Sushil Purohit.

With 3.3GW of Wärtsilä installed based in up to 98% of Caribbean Islands, we are no stranger to our market. Our customer base includes utilities, independent power producers focused on tourism market, and other industries. Our company’s global vision resonates in our Caribbean market as we all strive to walk the path towards 100% renewables in a reliable and cost efficient manner. Our solutions prove to be future-proof and flexible to balance the energy systems for our market, driven by an energy increasing demand to cope with the ever growing tourism industry and economic development of the Islands.

In the Caribbean, we see ourselves as more than business partners, as we have worked hand in hand with CARILEC (Caribbean Utilities Association) through many years of support to our Islands facing hurricanes on a yearly basis.  Working with CARILEC brings us together as Islanders to find solutions to our unique situations, and to share best practices and business solutions.

On this series of interviews, we interconnect our high level messaging of renewables integration and future fuels, to our Caribbean market development. The dialogue is moderated by Edmund Phillips, Business Development Manager, and co-hosted by Rodney George, Senior Business Development Manager.
