How can engineers prepare for the future of sustainable energy and power systems?
In this presentation, we explored how renewable energy, emerging technologies, modern power systems, and workforce skills are transforming the global energy industry.
The presentation, “Navigating the Future of Sustainable Energy, Skills, Systems and the Youth Factor,” is designed for engineering students, young professionals, and experienced engineers who want to remain relevant in a rapidly changing energy sector.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- Sustainable and conventional energy resources
- Renewable-energy growth and integration challenges
- Career opportunities created by the energy transition
- Power-system software and simulation skills
- Artificial intelligence and data analytics in energy
- Project management and essential human skills
- Smart grids, microgrids and grid automation
- Battery energy storage systems
- How young engineers can position themselves for future opportunities
The future of energy will not be shaped by technology alone. It will also be shaped by engineers who understand the systems, develop relevant skills, and take action.
I presented this webinar in 2025 to engineering students at the University of Energy and Natural Resources in Ghana. I’ve split the videos into a few-minute segments so you can watch them in parts.
Relevant Skills to the Power and Energy Sector
Part 1 — Energy Is Changing
Part 2 — Renewables: The Reality
Part 3 — Challenges Create Opportunities
Part 4 — Build the Right Skills
Part 5 — AI Won’t Replace This
Part 6 — The Smart Grid Era
Part 7 — BESS and Microgrids - Q&A
Part 8 — Your Role in the Energy Future - Q&A
You can read a blog post I wrote after the session here. You can also find the full recorded webinar on YouTube. Feel free to leave me comments or questions. I will personally respond to them.
