Full generation life cycle services are key to any project successfully being executed from design to commissioning. Having a provider who understands the needs/has expertise across a myriad of sectors is a huge plus. Having control and expertise across the full life cycle allows for innovations, such as finding ways to incorporate a circular economy model and partnering with local indigenous peoples to ensure mutual benefits across the board. MB Century is a leader across New Zealand, and I had the pleasure of sitting down with the CEO at the time Greg Thompson and the Director of International BD, Robert Mandjes.
When designing and developing a project, it is important to consider the full generation life cycle in order to incorporate efficiencies, cost savings, safety measures, inclusivity, and so much more. In the case of geothermal, it allows for innovative thinking around how to incorporate a mindset of circular economy benefits and engaging with the local community to ensure mutual benefit. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg Thompson, the acting CEO at the time of the interview at MB Century and the Director of International BD, Robert Mandjes to discuss the rich history of MB Century and how they are innovating and continuing to lead in the design and development of various energy projects across New Zealand.
