How local talent is taking on global sustainability challenges - The Straits Times

Solar power, which is not always available as it relies on the weather, can lead to imbalances between the electricity demand and supply. Such fluctuations can affect the reliability of the power grid.

To this end, EDPR Sunseap is working with the Energy Market Authority to enhance the reliability of power grids with energy storage systems.

As part of its global approach, the firm offers solar power purchase agreements and systems to clients’ sites, regardless of which country they are in.

Instead of dealing with 20 different teams across countries, there is one single point of contact to deploy the solution simultaneously, says Ms Wong Ee Hong, 46, EDPR Sunseap vice-president, global and key accounts.

Tapping global network

The company says it approaches training with a “global developmental mindset”.

Besides mandatory training, self-learning is encouraged. It has an online portal with over 11,000 courses, comprising core content from technical competency in renewables to other supporting content like ethics, compliance and cybersecurity.

The company also encourages learning through interaction and collaboration, with “global communities” that trade their knowledge and experiences.

This includes teams from finance, environment, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability, and innovation.
