Slide 1 Greetings. Today, we will discuss a controversial topic spiking different views from different people in different parts of the world; "Sustainability through renewable energy." Slide 2 Recently, renewable energy consumption, as well as supply, has been on the rise as the need to replace fossil fuels with cleaner alternatives for sustainability increases. Sustainability helps generate zero carbon emissions that can damage the atmosphere and back global heating. As shown in the figure, the production of renewable energy is expected to continue to increase to up to 18% by 2035. The sources of renewable energy are geothermal energy, wind, solar power, water, and biomass, according to Mohammad & Mahjabeen( 2023). The sector's growth is facilitated by the increasing threat of climate change and the urgent need to embrace sustainable energy solutions. In the process, some companies have been adaptable enough to embrace this as a market gap and have been trying to bring an impact in the sector. Eco Power Solutions is one of them. Slide 3 Eco Power Solutions is a Scottish small business that has been making enormous impacts in the renewable energy industry. The main aim of the company is to harness the potential of eco-friendly energy sources, hence making homes more efficient and affordable. They have specialized in electric vehicle charging, battery storage, and solar PV. Hence, the company is sustainably enhancing affordability and efficiency on time as the cost of living soars. Slide 4 The company has an experienced team that guarantees maximum electrical generation levels for the customers. They serve public and private customers to become more self-sufficient and reduce reliance on fossil fuels (Eco-Power Solutions, 2022). Their sustainability initiatives include Solar PV installation. Eco Power Solutions installs modern solar photovoltaic panels that make the cost of living lower by making energy more affordable. The installations are tailored to specific individual homes. They are served for domestic, commercial, and off-grid purposes. Additionally, it deals with EV charging. The main aim of producing this service is to enhance an eco- friendly future and make the change easier. They offer options for EV chargers for both domestic and commercial purposes. The number of vehicles on the roads has been growing, calling for convenient access to charging spots. Finally, it deals with battery storage products. The battery solutions help customers to capitalize on the usage of energy. Eco Power produces batteries of different sizes and formats tailored for commercial or domestic settings. Slide 5 Additionally, Eco Power has embraced sustainable, innovative approaches that focus on maximizing the efficiency and sustainability of renewable energy solutions. The approaches include using a customized design that involves designing their products based on the customer's needs while ensuring efficiency, affordability, and flexibility. Slide 6
They also guide customers about the appropriate energy tariffs, helping clients maximize savings. Eco Power combines its systems to ensure that the excess energy generated is not lost by incorporating battery storage systems in the EV charging and Solar PV systems to reduce grid reliance. To ensure efficiency and flexibility, Eco-Power partners with other renewable energy suppliers to increase the supply of green energy. Finally, they enhance customer affordability by encouraging and helping customers to apply for government grants and incentives that support clients financially, hence decreasing the installation costs. Slide 7 Eco Power's hard work and commitment have not been in vain and have led to tremendous environmental impacts. The production of green energy helps in lowering greenhouse gas emissions as well as reducing dependence on fossil fuels since green and renewable energy is produced from sunlight. It involves converting renewable sources into energy. Hence, it leads to energy security, energy access, mitigation of climate change, and improvement of environmental health. These impacts include improvement of human health through a reduction of contamination of air, water, and soil caused by fossil fuels. The impacts are constant and effective since Eco Power Solutions' solar panels work even during challenging weather conditions, ensuring a sustainable and green future. Slide 8 Apart from fostering eco-friendly practices within the community and reducing the over-reliance on fossil fuels, the company has been increasing job creation within the renewable energy sector as the demand for eco-power services grows. The practices of the community lead to the protection of the environment and natural resources, locally, globally, and regionally. Slide 9 To promote sustainability, the government instills subsidies, taxes, and penalties to promote efficiency and environmental stewardship. As a result of the government grants, Eco Power Solutions product's demand has been on the rise. This case is because the initiatives by the company supported by government grants and tariffs have substantial economic benefits. The initiative saves on electricity bills since, apart from the installation costs, clients do not incur any other costs since energy is freely generated by sunlight. This action aids in increasing savings as well as disposable income. This money is then used to improve other areas of the economy, such as investment and starting businesses. In the long run, it leads to overall economic growth. The diagram shows how much electricity is created and saved in an hour, a day, a week, a month, and a year through solar panels. Slide 10 However, a successful plan comes with challenges that have to be cracked for efficiency. Although stiff competition has been a major problem in the market despite the firms being after sustainability, financial constraints accompanied by the high equipment cost and the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources have been the main challenges pushing Eco Power to the corner. The graph shows the main problems facing renewable energy small businesses in different parts of the world. Slide 11
Renewable energy is wide and still growing. This case means that Eco Power Solutions still has a chance to showcase its optimum ability and expand its market base and market share. It can expand its market reach to other geographical areas apart from Scotland. Also, it can amplify and support sustainability initiatives by funding new sources and partnering with other green organizations. Research and development is a precious tool for ensuring that Eco Power Solutions stays ahead of its competitors and technology in the market. Slide 12 In conclusion, Eco Power Solution actively supports a more sustainable and green future through actions and dedication. Referring to Eco Power Solutions as a business indicates underrating its unquestionable and impactful initiatives. I welcome anyone with a question regarding the topic to raise the issue for clarity.
