We welcomed a group of students from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens to our Martino Wind Park in Fthiotida.
For several years, we’ve been implementing a series of programs – such as "Energy On The Go" – aimed at informing and educating young people about the principles of sustainable development, the circular economy, innovation and renewable energy sources (RES).
Recently, we welcomed more than 40 students from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) to our Martino Wind Park. The students are members of the Power & Energy Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in NTUA, whose main pillar is scientific knowledge in the field of energy, climate change and renewable energy sources.
A future in renewable energy
During their visit to our wind park, the students were given a tour of the facilities and learned about the operating and maintenance procedures at the plant. Then, they saw the operating mechanisms of a wind turbine up close, and talked with our engineers about technology sector developments and innovations in storage, hybridization and repowering.
Finally, they discussed job prospects in energy companies with our executives and the steps they should follow to start a successful career in the field of renewable energy sources. The industry is growing rapidly, both in Greece and around the world, and today's students are the ones who will take part in the green transition in the coming years, achieving new technological advances and implementing new innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
Educational initiatives
This is part of our educational initiatives that aim to bring young people closer to green energy. Since 2014, we’ve been implementing the educational program "Energy On The Go", with the approval of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. It’s an experiential learning program that aims to raise students’ awareness of the principles of sustainable development, renewable energy sources and their applications in everyday life.
We demonstrate every day our commitment to a sustainability model based on initiatives and targeted actions with a significant impact on people's lives and especially on the future of young people. Our actions for the Creation of Shared Value (CSV) are fully aligned with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, with this initiative being part of SDG 4 - Quality Education
