Renewable energy is on a course to shatter growth records as more investments are made to decarbonize our planet. In 2023 alone, renewable energy capacity globally grew by 50% or 510+ gigawatts (that's enough to power ~450 million homes for one year). To keep up this pace and reach our world's decarbonization goals, innovations need to be made to continue to reduce cost, make technology advancements, scale projects, accelerate construction, and find additional talent.
Mortenson, a renewable energy EPC (contractor that focuses on engineering, procurement, and construction), is rethinking every aspect of how we design and build our renewable energy projects to help with these challenges. By leveraging innovative virtual design and construction technologies, developing modular designs to streamline construction, and implementing automation solutions, renewable work can be done easier, safer, and faster for team members.
Learning Objectives:
Analyze case studies of successful renewable energy projects that have utilized innovative approaches like virtual design, modular construction, and automation, highlighting best practices and lessons learned.
Discuss the importance of collaboration and innovation in driving progress of renewable energy.
Identify the challenges facing the renewable energy industry in maintaining growth momentum.
