🔴 LIVE EVENT: Building #EnergyResiliency As Europe strengthens its defense posture, energy security is no longer optional — it’s mission-critical. Join us for an insightful #LinkedInLive session where our expert panel will unveil a practical roadmap for deploying resilient energy systems. From NATO-aligned military bases to civilian infrastructure, discover how to integrate DERs, #microgrids and renewables while aligning with EU policies and cybersecurity standards. Speakers: Raul Herrera PE, MS Energy, LEED AP | Adam Roberts

Our team has successfully delivered the Philippines’ first megawatt-scale floating solar photovoltaic facility, marking a milestone in #RenewableEnergy innovation and #SustainableMining practices. Commissioned by Carmen Copper Corporation, the 3-hectare floating solar array on Malubog Reservoir features 8,540 #SolarPanels generating up to 4.99 MW of clean energy — enough to meet 10% of the mine’s power needs, the first step to meeting the Department of Energy Philippines goals of 35% by 2030. The project is designed to scale up to 50 MW, with the potential to fully power Carmen Copper’s operations. Using solar panels fixed at a constant tilt angle, the power from the sun will prove invaluable during peak energy hours, cutting dependence on #FossilFuels while underscoring Carmen Copper’s ambition to meet environmental compliance standards and achieve its own goals to be more energy responsible.

Balancing performance, cost, risk and service in #WaterUtilities starts with one thing: quality data. 📈 Our 2025 Water Report found that 60% of U.S. utilities have a #DigitalStrategy — but only 4% are achieving all their goals. And while there is no one-size-fits-all path for every digital journey, we've outlined seven overarching #BestPractices for you to consider: http://ms.spr.ly/6046szvdp

◾ Designing resilient #EnergySystems for diverse European environments using DERs, microgrids and advanced controls. ◾ Aligning energy strategies with mission objectives, EU policy frameworks and #CybersecurityRequirements. ◾ Leveraging modeling tools and stakeholder collaboration to optimize planning and execution. ◾ Developing scalable, replicable solutions that ensure operational continuity and long-term sustainability across #Europe. These are just some topics our experts will discuss during our upcoming LinkedIn Live event. Don't miss out: http://ms.spr.ly/6042sKEMp

#Hydropower is a cornerstone of #RenewableEnergy, accounting for more than half of global renewable energy generation and more than a quarter of U.S. utility-scale renewable electricity. Like all infrastructure, hydropower assets need continuous care. 🛠 With more than 40 years of hydropower experience and 500-plus projects totaling 79,000 megawatts of installed capacity, we offer comprehensive services from planning and permitting to licensing, feasibility studies, engineering, #AssetManagement and performance testing. http://ms.spr.ly/6046s68qg

In today’s hyper-connected world, #technology is integral to nearly every aspect of our lives. 👨🏼💻 The convenience of the #digital realm is undeniable, but this convenience comes with a significant risk: #CybersecurityThreats.
