ECA has launched Leading the Charge, a digital series produced by Content with Purpose (CWP), exploring the electrotechnical sector\u2019s pivotal role in realising the UK\u2019s net zero ambitions.<\/p>\n
The series of films, podcasts and articles highlight some of the most powerful net zero stories from across the sector, with support and input from industry heavyweights including National Grid, Western Power, Megger, Actemium, Imtech and many more.<\/p>\n
Industry leaders including ECA CEO Steve Bratt, BSRIA CEO Julia Evans, Electrical Safety First CEO Lesley Rudd and many others share their insights and advice to electrotechnical professionals who want to seize the opportunities presented by the transition to cleaner, more sustainable electricity.<\/p>\n
Electrotechnical professionals are creating a cleaner world, decarbonising the UK energy network, electrifying heat and transport, developing smart buildings and improving energy efficiency. The work of electrotechnical installers will be crucial in ensuring this transition happens; with EV infrastructure, smart grids, and renewable energy, among other new technologies, representing a huge opportunity for the sector.<\/p>\n
But urgent progress is needed to keep up with the pace of change necessary for the safe and efficient switch to an electrified future, including advances in innovation, better multi-disciplinary working, recruiting the future workforce and upskilling.<\/p>\n
Featuring interviews, podcasts, films, articles and a feature-length documentary, \u2018Leading the Charge\u2019 will shine a light on the electrotechnical community and tell the stories of the organisations and professionals powering the transition to net zero.<\/p>\n
The digital series will explore progress in areas such as renewables, energy storage, retrofitting, automation, electrical safety, policy and training. It provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and best practice, while raising awareness and inspiring the next generation.<\/p>\n
