🌐 The draw of working in energy, with utilities. 🌐
Career changes might not be easy - but I got lucky.
As I transitioned from semiconductor into the energy industry almost 10 years ago, the goal was to dedicate my time to climate change mitigation. The energy industry was obviously one of the most impactful sectors and caught my interest. The surprise was how closely I would later work with electric utilities on their clean energy transition.
Energy and utilities play a crucial role in powering our daily lives, businesses, and industries. They silently but surely allow empowerment that effects changes in our society.
🔋 Energy:
Energy provides the ability to do work or the capacity for action. Through electric power, energy drives our daily lives through various forms, such as mechanical, electrical, kinetic, potential, chemical, thermal, and more.
The energy sector encompasses traditional sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal. With the growing focus on sustainable investments, the industry is transitioning towards cleaner energy alternatives to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
💡 Utilities:
Electric utilities provide essential commodities for our daily lives by generating, transmitting, and distributing energy.
The energy industry in the U.S. faces numerous challenges, including meeting localized growing demands, improving aging infrastructure, adopting cleaner technologies, and not being able to replace the trained workforce fast enough as a large portion of them qualify for retirement.
Yet, the industry is at the forefront of embracing digitalization and smart technologies to optimize energy consumption, enhance grid reliability, and enable efficient operations. Electric utilities must balance all these barriers and still provide safe, reliable, and affordable power to end-users, ensuring mass access to energy.
As we move towards a more sustainable future and prioritize renewable energy sources, the energy and utilities sector will continue to evolve and shape how we power our world.
Come join us, we are hiring for multiple positions! It has a great draw for those who’d like challenges – and seeing the impact of challenges met. https://buff.ly/3Mjhx4b
