Annual Report 2025
A Launch to Remember in Sunny Madrid As Forum ’25 participants gathered, they were greeted by our first-ever event partner, GSC, as Sonia Dunlop, CEO of the Global Solar Council, shared insights from the solar industry, alongside Dennis Elsberg, Chair of the GWO Solar Training Committee and several representatives from Pearce Renew- ables and Maersk Training, who had partici- pated in the pilots. Together, these experts launched the solar initiative, sharing per- spectives on the massive scaling-up of solar capacity expected from 2030 onwards and the exponential rise in skilled solar techni- cians to meet this demand. Returning to the notion that the Global So- lar Training Standards are an investment which supports employers to scale solar, Dennis Elsberg urged our community to support adoption of these standards and make them available in their training cen- tres early on, so that they will be increasing- ly chosen as a viable training pathway. And with 21 Training Providers with solar on scope, we believe the future for increased safety and efficiency in the solar industry is bright.
