“Opportunities are born from adversity” is the life motto Susete Patrício follows religiously, and her energy is as renewable as the business area she works in. A Biophysical Engineer, she has worked in projects in many fields, of different types: roads, quarries, railways and, lastly, energy. She joined Galp in 2008 and is currently a Project Development Manager in Renewable Energies. At first, her role was more focussed on wind power development, but nowadays Galp is looking to diversify its renewable energy portfolio into other areas, including solar photovoltaic energy. “Solar photovoltaics is a really interesting area, but it has some challenging features: there is no guaranteed connection to the power grid as we had with wind power.” In her spare time, she recharges batteries with renewable energy from long nature walks up and down the country.
Energisers – an exhibition about people – portrays Galp employees based in Portugal, Spain, Mozambique and Brazil who ensure the necessary energy to guarantee the world does not stop.
The result of a partnership with VISÃO magazine, this photo report created by photographers Arlindo Camacho (Portugal), Enric Vives-Rubio (Spain), Mauro Vombe (Mozambique) and Jardiel Carvalho (Brazil) shows us, through a unique perspective, who these people really are beyond their professional role. How they spend their days, where they come from, how they live, what they did to get where they are and what dreams they still wish to fulfil.
