Renewable energy must be part of new normal: Expert dhanusha@khaleejtimes.com Filed on March 10, 2021 Reuters Bruch urged companies and governments to collaborate and urgently adapt learnings from the pandemic. The global crisis is a wake-up call for the energy sector to get its act together, said Dr Christian Bruch, president and chief executive officer of Siemens Energy on the final day of the World Government Summit Dialogues in Dubai. Bruch urged companies and governments to collaborate and urgently adapt learnings from the pandemic to rebuild a more equitable energy infrastructure for the next decade. The inequality we see in parts of the energy industry is a cause for concern, he said. “You see a pretty divided world. On one side, there is sufficient capital in the world, and it is a question on how to deploy it. There is a lot of uncertainty — this balance of investing somewhere, giving people access to electricity and energy — how is this working out? One thing is clear, the old mechanisms are not going to work,” he explained.
