Real-World Projects Driving the Energy Transition

Posted

The global energy transition is being shaped not by abstract pledges but by tangible projects that cut emissions, save costs, and strengthen resilience. On September 25, industry leaders including Ameresco CEO George Sakellaris, London Stadium’s Alan Skewis, and City of Phoenix’s Leandro Garcia will share how their organizations are delivering results that define the future of energy.

Sakellaris, widely recognized as a pioneer in energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions, will share his perspective on the drivers shaping the energy transition in the United States and Europe. His career spans decades of advancing energy services models that helped mainstream performance contracting, clean power, and resilient infrastructure.

“This financial arrangement marks a significant milestone for Ameresco as we continue to lead the way in providing innovative energy solutions. We expect that the $300 million private shelf facility will allow us to execute multiple transactions, enhancing our ability to deliver energy projects that drive cost savings, resilience, and decarbonization,” said George Sakellaris, President and CEO of Ameresco.

What Attendees Will Learn

This webinar will provide practical insights into how public and private organizations are translating sustainability goals into action:

  • Strategic insights from Sakellaris on how U.S. and European markets are navigating decarbonization.
  • Transformational projects shared by Alan Skewis, Head of Capital Projects & Sustainability at London Stadium, and Leandro Garcia, Deputy Water Services Director at the City of Phoenix.
  • Investment trends shaping the resilient infrastructure of tomorrow, including efficiency, cost savings, and emissions reduction.

Why It Matters

Globally, energy demand is rising even as governments tighten climate targets. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that renewable energy will account for over 40% of global electricity by 2030, yet investment in grid infrastructure and efficiency upgrades must double to meet demand. Cities like Phoenix are already facing climate-driven water stress, while facilities such as London Stadium are reimagining large-scale venues for low-carbon performance.

Against this backdrop, Ameresco has become a leading developer of clean energy projects, from battery storage in California to solar and CHP installations across Europe, underscoring the importance of proven, scalable solutions.

Who Should Attend

The session is tailored for professionals across the private and public sectors, including:

  • Energy managers
  • Facilities directors
  • Sustainability officers
  • Operations leaders
  • Campus and municipal planners

For organizations managing buildings, utilities, or industrial operations, the webinar offers tools to prepare for regulatory shifts, rising energy costs, and stakeholder expectations around decarbonization.

Speakers:

  • George Sakellaris, President & CEO, Ameresco
  • Alan Skewis, Head of Capital Projects & Sustainability, London Stadium
  • Leandro Garcia, Deputy Water Services Director, City of Phoenix
