Wärtsilä Corporation

Let's talk a bit about you, Javier.

You've been at Mitsubishi Power for four years, but you started your career at Wärtsilä, a Finnish decarbonisation specialist working in the marine and energy sector.

I mean, how would you describe the changes that you've seen in the global energy decarbonisation market over the last 20 years?

I mean, it has been fascinating.

It's really great to have this moment here at the SMM, such an influential affair.

And yeah, to have two beautiful winners with Wärtsilä and the Port of Rotterdam and the City of Rotterdam.

Yeah, so I'm really, I could not be more psyched.

Yeah, really happy about it.

How are you feeling? Awesome, I'm so happy.

Talk to us a little bit about why this is an important initiative to get behind for you guys and why it means so much to win.

Well, first of all, I would like to say what it means to me, because I've been working with this over 10 years, startup collaborations within Wärtsilä.

So, of course, this is a huge win to receive this recognition.

And that includes things like the control room and and other ancillary things beyond the generators as well, right? In St.

Thomas, they looked at the facility and said, well, you just recently, you recently installed three generators, this is what phase ones, you have a disaster recovery grant with HUD to install four more generators, which became the Wärtsilä Phase 2s.

And so you don't need a complete overhaul.

You probably need some additional generation to replace these two units, 14 and 15, that are to be retired.
