On behalf of Siemens, I want to tell you how excited we are to be a part of this informative and vital community.
 
As a leading supplier of a complete spectrum of products, services and solutions for the generation, transmission and distribution of power, the extraction, conversion and transport of oil and gas, and for providing environmentally friendly building and automation technologies, Siemens is in a unique position to understand the challenges and possibilities for our world in the ares of energy and climate change.

The community that your hard work, expertise, insight, and passion has built here at The Energy Collective is one that we feel is important to support going forward. Siemens is well positioned to thrive in a world that is serious about efficiency, about grid modernization, and about revolutionizing the ways we generate power to meet ever-increasing demands. How do we get to that point? That's the topic of the conversation that's happening every day at The Energy Collective, and Siemens wants to be supportive of and engaged in that discussion.

Of course, we understand that diverse perspectives are the foundation of productive discussion. That's why we support the commitment at The Energy Collective to air a wide array of viewpoints, to science-based debate, and to editorial transparency. We intend to engage in the conversation, not dominate it.

And, with this first blog post, we will begin that engagement. We hope our conversations lead to improvements world-wide for how societies produce, distribute and consume energy, as well as how we take action toward preserving our beautiful planet.

We thank you for allowing us to be a part of your community, and we look forward to getting to know you all in the coming months.

Thank You,
Sheila K. Oliva
Siemens Energy, on behalf of all Siemens
