What are your top takeaways from POWERGEN 2024?
Rich Voorberg: "I think what I really like about this opportunity is everybody in the industry coming together because, as we say at Siemens Energy, we can’t do it alone. We wish we could do it alone, but we need to do it together. That includes our competitors, we need to be working closely with them to get things done. We need to be working with governments, we need to be working with our customers, we need to be working with media. All of us have that obligation to really be working together and that’s what I see at POWERGEN. All of us are talking and all of us are meeting with one aim, and that’s to drive this energy transition."
