The POWER Interview: Fluence Exec Offers Insight on Energy Storage

August 23, 2022

There’s global growth in energy storage. The latest evidence is a report that BlackRock, the New York-based asset manager and a major player in energy sector, is ready to buy Akyasha Energy, an Australian company that specializes in battery storage and renewable energy projects.

BlackRock in an Aug. 16 news release said it would commit about $ 700 million to develop more than 1 GW of battery energy storage. The group said it would at a future date expand Akyaysha projects across Taiwan and Japan.

Compelling IT Manager Cover Letter and Writing Tips

| Resumes

A company’s IT department may very well be its most important business area. Why? Because anything that happens in IT has the potential to impact every other part of the business. A poorly run IT department could mean a lagging corporate website, glitchy internal applications, overlooked security vulnerabilities, lower customer experience, and more problematic issues.

An IT manager is the person who sits at the helm of the tech department and ensures that tech service delivery happens smoothly. They often develop the company’s strategy for new technology investments; hire, train, and supervise new IT staff; establish, coordinate, and manage computer networks, and perform a wide range of other duties.

If you’re pursuing this position, you must have solid leadership skills and a strong vision for not just implementing new technologies, but also evangelizing their value to other company stakeholders.
