Why Work in the Renewable Energy Sector? | The Electricity Exchange

There are many challenges when working in renewable energy. Expect political advocacy, regulatory barriers and resistance from stakeholders. So why do it? What drives people in the industry and what is their purpose?

This clip is taken from a discussion on how Ireland has successfully delivered on very ambitious renewable energy targets in the electricity sector, mainly due to the growth of wind energy on the island. In the full episode, Conall Bolger from Irish Solar Energy Association and Noel Cunniffe from Wind Energy Ireland, join Paddy Finn to discuss what has been achieved and the key obstacles that had to be overcome on that journey.

The Electricity Exchange is a series of discussions hosted by Dr. Paddy Finn, VIOTAS CEO & CTO. Together with industry experts, Paddy and guests analyse and discuss a wide variety of topics related to electricity, the energy landscape and what the future may look like.
