Profile bio
About Paul Nel
My journey through Energy started in the early ’90’s at South Africa’s power utility, Eskom. Here I spent 18 years falling in love with Hydro, Africa and sustainable energy development. I was privileged to work, not only on Eskom’s own hydro and pumped storage schemes, but also on many projects across Africa and in the Middle East.I left Eskom as Engineering Manager of their Hydro and Gas Turbine fleet in 2011 to join Zutari (then Aurecon) to establish a Renewable energy business for them. Over the 10 years that followed we built a strong engineering team to support, develop and design Solar, Wind and Hydro Generation as well as many Transmission and Distribution projects across Africa, South East Asia and Australia.Throughout this Energy journey I was often able to find application for my interest in data and computational design, gaining an understanding for how these fields can shape and accelerate a global uptake of sustainable energy production. These experiences and interests have fused into the development of software solutions with great potential to disrupt how large scale renewable energy, specifically solar PV, could be developed in future.My transition into the role as CEO of 7SecondSolar in 2022 gave me the opportunity to aggressively help shape a better future for our planet and all its inhabitants through changing the way we develop, design and build large sustainable energy solutions.
Listed skills include Commissioning, Technical Management, Renewable Energy, Power Generation, and 14 others.
