Matti, what made you choose Korkia?

I believe in Korkia’s business model, which focuses on value creation in the solar and wind power project development phase. In addition, during the recruitment process, I was convinced that Korkia has a good spirit of getting things done and a team of top-notch professionals. It’s inspiring to do meaningful work in a good team!

 

What kind of energy do you bring to the work community and team?

Renewable energy and sustainable development are close to my heart. My deep interest in the topic and the motivation that stems from it will hopefully also be visible to people around me, adding to the good “buzz” in the work community.

 

Is there an act or choice that you have recently made for a more sustainable future? 

As a person living in a detached house, I have a reasonably high electricity consumption. I have transferred a large part of the electricity use (heating, hot water, washing machine and dishwasher) to nighttime and in general to hours when the spot price of electricity is lower. Although the motive is also the money saved, the energy system of the future is in dire need of a change in the way electricity is consumed. We need to use electricity when wind and solar power are available!
