Testimonials

Attendees have leveraged knowledge gained to further their ability to procure clean energy in their regions and have put that knowledge into action in implementing clean energy goals and projects.

“I would recommend this program to others in the industry because the knowledge is valuable and essential, especially in the context of greenhouse gas reduction targets and the increasing demand for clean energy. Many companies in the textile industry are particularly concerned about these issues to meet export requirements for the European and American market.”

“I was deeply impressed by this training. During the sessions, the experts answered our questions and clarified many of our doubts, which was incredibly helpful. In November, when we had a meeting with a brand corporation, I specifically mentioned this training. Concepts such as PPA, green power, and GECs were quite confusing to us before attending the training. However, after the training, we gained a thorough understanding of these concepts, which is why I highly recommend participating in this program. The subsequent digital academy is also excellent, as it allows us to revisit the material on the online platform and reinforce our learning.”

“Most of our facilities are located in Guangdong Province. Through the training in Guangdong, I gained valuable insights into market dynamics, which have been instrumental in corporate planning. One of our clients requires 100% green power usage, and to meet this goal, I developed an optimal procurement strategy aligned with market realities. The training provided the knowledge to determine the ideal procurement proportions, allowing us to fulfill client requirements while minimizing company costs.”
