The right environment If Ireland is to become more sustainable – and create new green jobs in the process – we need to establish proper structures and examine planning processes, writes Bill Hennessy
Vestas, one of the world’s leading
producers of wind turbines is
closing its blade manufacturing unit
in the Isle of Wight, UK, with the loss of
600 jobs. Ed Miliband, the UK secretary of
state for energy and climate change, has
blamed the planning regime in the UK for
the closure. The long waiting times for
planning permission and the uncertainty of
project approval have been major
deterrents. This is causing investors to
invest in other countries where wind is
viewed more favourably. In their own back
yard, where the wind industry was
providing hundreds of jobs, the local
planning authority on the Isle of Wight
turned down a Vestas application for a
relatively small wind-farm consisting of
three turbines.
Yes, thousands of green jobs can be
created in Ireland – but there are many
challenges to be faced if we are to succeed,
not least of which will be planning and
stakeholder management. Many of the jobs
will be temporary – in construction,
installation and the expansion of the
transmission grid network, but large
numbers of permanent jobs will also be
created in operations and in maintenance.
With proper strategic management of the
sector, jobs will be created in research and
development, which in time will hopefully
lead to manufacturing activity. In duecourse, having built up the knowledge and
know-how, international opportunities for
providing engineering consulting services
from Ireland will evolve.
According to Eamonn Ryan, Minister for
Communications, Energy and Natural
Resources, “Renewable electricity is a
critical cornerstone of Ireland’s approach to
moving towards a low-carbon and robust
economy.” Dr Werner Kruckow, chief
executive of Siemens Ireland states that,
“Ireland is geographically well positioned to
achieve 50% of its energy requirements
from renewable resources by 2030 and we
could potentially become a net global
exporter of renewable energy.”
To capitalise on the opportunity to create
vital climate-friendly green jobs, Ireland
must act quickly to create the structures
and business environment for renewable
energy to prosper. Obviously huge
investment will be required and with
banking suffering on a global scale, funding
is going to be a significant obstacle. The
other major challenges are going to be in
planning approval and expanding the grid
to provide connection to the many wind
farms that are planned for construction, a
lot of which are in remote areas of the
country.
Ireland has a unique problem in that we
have about 200,000km in our transmission
and distribution network which, because of
our sparse population density, is almost
four times the average in the rest of Europe.
This pushes up the overall cost of wind
power per head of population in Ireland
versus Europe. Notwithstanding this,
Eirgrid, the state-owned transmission
system operator (TSO) is well positioned
with its Grid25 strategy to meet the needs
of the renewable sector and to achieve the
objective of 40% renewable electricity in
our system by 2020.
The biggest challenge of all will be in
planning. The Spirit of Ireland initiative
suggests that we can provide tens of
thousands of jobs, achieve energy
independence, save €30 billion over the
next ten years in reduced fossil fuel bills
and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. Its proposal is to use glacial
valleys near the west coast adjacent to the
sea as reservoirs for sea water, filled using
power generated by both on-shore and offcourse, having built up the knowledge and
know-how, international opportunities for
providing engineering consulting services
from Ireland will evolve.

valleys near the west coast adjacent to the
sea as reservoirs for sea water, filled using
power generated by both on-shore and offshore wind farms. Just like the Turlough
Hill hydroelectric scheme, power can then
be generated at peak demand times
through hydro-electric generation.
This project will necessarily involve the
building of dams in some valleys and some
impairment of the environment and the
aesthetic amenities of the areas affected.
Landowners and environmentalists may
not be pleased. It is right that objections be
carefully considered and that stakeholders
are treated with respect and decisions
made with the best interest of the
economy, the environment and the
stakeholders at heart. The concept of a cooperative
approach to ownership by
farmers, landowners and the local
community has been mooted and warrants
consideration.
It was decided in 2007 that responsibility
for planning policy in the renewable energy
sector would transfer from the Department
of Agriculture to the Department of the
Environment. This transfer is happening
slowly and delaying the approval process.
An added problem for some companies
that have received planning permission is
that by the time grid connection is agreed,
planning permission has expired. This issue
has caused the authorities to consider
expanding the planning timeframe to 10
years from five, because of the long
timescale of such projects. All sorts of
problems will continue to arise and cause
delay.
For investors to invest and jobs to be
created, Government must create the
structures and environment for quicker
planning.

Cinco Tendencias que definen al consumidor moderno
5 tendencias que definen al
consumidor moderno
Conocer al consumidor actual es
básico para volverte una referencia para tu audiencia. Aquí las claves de cómo
lo han hecho Samsung, Apple y Nestlé.

La constante innovación tecnológica además
de la aparición y consolidación de nuevos mercados son los dos factores principales
que hoy en día marcan a la industria de consumo en
el mundo.
Según datos del estudio Global Powers of Consumer Product 2014, elaborado
por Deloitte, la industria del consumo ha venido
registrando durante los últimos años una transformación sustentada
en el desarrollo que las marcas han emprendido para
llevar .la venta de sus productos a internet.
En entrevista con AltoNivel.com.mx, Jack Ringquist, líder global de Industria de
Consumo en Deloitte, señala que el sector enfrenta hoy nuevos retos que
involucran a jugadores de distintos sectores, y en el caso específico de México
son varios los puntos que auguran un impulso para la
industria del consumo.
“Observamos que el país mantiene su línea de crecimiento,
apoyándose de las mejoras que está registrando el gobierno, la alta competitividad de
su industria y el crecimiento demográfico de
los jóvenes”, detalla el especialista que ha trabajado como
consultor de firmas como Nestlé.

Puntos álgidos
Son cinco las tendencias actuales que Jack
Ringquist identifica como claves para poder definir al consumidor, así como los tópicos que analiza antes de
poder adquirir un producto o servicio.
1. Globales
Las nuevas tecnologías que
se crearon durante la última década han convertido a las personas en sujetos globales
que toman cada una de sus decisiones con base en la información que les
proporcionan sus dispositivos móviles.
Esta globalidad ha permitido que los consumidores
busquen incluso experiencias únicas y .entretenidas durante el proceso
de compra de sus productos.
2. Ahorradores
El consumidor actual busca gastar pero también
ahorrar.
El consumidor está mucho más consciente de
sus necesidades básicas y del capital que puede
utilizar para comprar ciertos productos. Es por esta razón que está mucho más
interesado que antes en temáticas relacionadas a .promociones y descuentos que
las marcas puedan ofrecer para reducir el gasto que realizan.
3. Saludables
Los productos relacionados al bienestar y a la salud son
prioridad de los nuevos consumidores que intentan cuidar más cuerpo y procuran tener
un mejor estilo de vida.
Este tópico ha sido principalmente impulsado por
entidades gubernamentales y organizaciones, quienes han tratado de modificar
los .hábitos del consumidor promedio.
Datos del reporte de consumo de Datamonitor revelan
que hoy en día un 59% de las personas prefieren este tipo de productos a los
comúnmente adquiridos.
4. Responsables
Estudios recientes destacan que un 58% de los consumidores de la actualidad muestran
interés por comprar productos de marcas que
cuentan con prácticas relacionadas a la responsabilidad social
empresarial.
La acción
de adquirir productos de empresas que mantienen trabajos puntuales en este
rubro permite a los consumidores sentirse parte de las acciones sociales que
las firmas están realizando.
5. Poderosos
La gran cantidad de información con
la cuentan los consumidores acerca de los productos les permite determinar
certeramente si cumple con sus necesidades o no.
Las redes sociales son sitios donde usualmente hoy
se puede encontrar información de la mayoría de las marcas, las cuales de no
preocuparse por el tema de la .reputación online pueden verse
afectadas por los comentarios que se mencionen acerca de ellas.
