Optimising energy storage will play a key role in sustainable solar, including faster, deeper and smarter decarbonisation of electricity grids, and diversification of revenue for projects. For our customers, it also means more stability and security of supply.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 mb-30\">\n  <div class=\"\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-100 h-300px h-lg-350px object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/27002020\/co-location-wind-and-solar-min.jpg\" \/>\n      <\/div>\n        <h5 class=\"mt-25 mb-15 fg-color-navy\">Co-location: wind and solar<\/h5>\n        <p class=\"line-height-level-6\">Pairing solar and wind generation with energy storage is a powerful proposition. Wind and solar generate electricity at different hours and seasons. Combining them, along with storage, can maximise the grid capacity available. We\u2019re exploring how these renewable hubs can speed deployment, bring more projects to fruition, and generate consistent flows of clean power.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"pt-30 pt-lg-100\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"text align block_acf-block-68d5178941f30 block bg-color-white position-relative z-1 overflow-hidden\">\n    <div class=\"pt-30 pt-lg-30\"><\/div>\n\n  \n  <div class=\"container \">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col-12\">\n        <span class=\"rich-text standard-text fg-color-navy\">\n          <hr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #9b9b9b; margin: 6px 0 12px 0;\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: .9em; color: #9b9b9b;\">* Operational projects and projects in construction, net Lightsource bp ownership.<br \/>\n** Pipeline at Stage 2 development status or above i.e. excluding Stage 1 leads.<\/p>\n\n        <\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"pt-30 pt-lg-30\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"call-to-action align block_acf-block-68d5178942a37 block call-to-action\">\n  <div class=\"pt-0 pt-lg-0\"><\/div>\n  \n  <div class=\"container-fluid z-2\">\n\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 pl-0 pr-0\">\n        <picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/27000022\/careers-thumbnail-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/27000022\/careers-thumbnail-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/27000022\/careers-thumbnail-1-80x50.jpg 80w, https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/27000022\/careers-thumbnail-1-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/27000022\/careers-thumbnail-1-450x281.jpg 450w, https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/27000022\/careers-thumbnail-1-767x479.jpg 767w\" sizes=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.lightsourcebp.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/27000022\/careers-thumbnail-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"w-100 w-lg-101 h-100 object-fit-cover ml--15px\"><\/picture>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 bg-color-gradient position-relative z-1 overflow-hidden\">\n\n                  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"position-absolute top-n20 right-n190 right-sm-n116 right-xxl-n68 rotate-230 -z-1\" src=\"https:\/\/lightsourcebp.com\/app\/themes\/lightsourcebp-theme\/dist\/images\/global\/background-swirls-alt-red_4744d58b.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n        \n        <div class=\"d-flex flex-column flex-center h-100 px-15 px-md-50 py-60 py-lg-30 py-xxl-0\">\n                      <span class=\"d-flex font-size-navigation font-weight-semi-bold mb-15 text-transform-uppercase letter-spacing-title fg-color-gradient\">Careers<\/span>\n                                <h2 class=\"mb-20 fg-color-white\">Join Lightsource bp<\/h2>\n                                <div class=\"flex flex-column w-100 rich-text fg-color-white\">\n              <p>Choose a career where you are empowered to change the world!
