[David Black]

Electricity markets are changing globally. We’re going through a major transition.

Helping businesses update their electricity supply is MP2 Energy, a part of Shell Energy North America.

Slow-motion front view footage of David walking across a carpeted office hallway with other staff members walking to and fro in the background. A series of point-of-view shots, as seen from the level above, of an open plan office with staff members working at rows of desks with multiple monitor set-ups on each desk. Slow-motion footage of David walking through the open-plan office, speaking to his staff.

[David Black]

We’re continually exploring ways to help our customers get the electricity they need and also curb their carbon emissions. And whether that’s through renewable energies, whether it can be with rooftop solar, whether it can be with batteries, we’re just managing the generations they already have onsite.

[Richard Johnson]

The world is undergoing a profound transition in how we use energy.

Close-up of Richard smiling into the camera. Title text displays over this.

[Richard Johnson]

And at Rice University, we’re focused on successfully navigating that transition to a carbon neutral future. First, we’re focused on reducing our electricity consumption as much as we can. Second, we are moving to greener sources of energy as quickly as possible, to reach our carbon neutrality goal.

[Video footage]

Talking head footage of Richard speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against the background of the campus at Rice University. Low-angle footage of the ivy-covered wall at the University’s entrance, displaying the “Rice University” name and logo. Slow motion footage of Richard walking along a corridor on campus, passing the magnificent columns and arches at his left as he approaches the shot. Wide low-angle footage of the building’s entrance archway, some of the windows above the archway illumined by light. Bird’s eye view of the Rice Field track and soccer field, with a team, or teams, standing around on the field. More talking head footage of Richard speaking to the off-camera interviewer. Slightly panning aerial footage of the Rice University building and grounds.

[Richard Johnson]

Got something I want to show you. It’s part of our renewable energy future.

[Video footage]

High-angle footage of Richard climbing a stairway as he talks to the off-camera interviewer. As he passes the camera, we switch to low-angle tracking footage of Richard climbing the stairs, briefly looking over his shoulder as he talks to the off-camera interviewer, then turning the handle of the door at the top of the stairs. High-angle close-up of Richard’s hand on the door handle as he opens the door and we see him step through the entrance.

[Richard Johnson]

This is Rice University’s first rooftop solar array. It’s a 50 kilowatt system and there are times of the day when this produces more electricity than this building needs.

[Video footage]

Bird’s eye view of the Rice University rooftops with the Houston cityscape forming the background. A closer aerial view of the buildings show the solar array atop one of the campus buildings. Talking head footage of Richard speaking to the off-camera interviewer from the rooftop, gesturing down to the solar array. Close-up of the photovoltaic panels. Low-angle footage of the university’s arched corridor, with the hanging lights glowing with yellow light. Low-angle close-up of one of the hanging yellow lights.

[Richard Johnson]

We now have two on campus. We’re planning many more in the near future as well. It’s part of our strategy to reduce our carbon footprint on campus.

Graphical devices appear and animate onscreen against the white laboratory countertop as a background. We see a yellow animated sun over a solar panel graphic, then a battery graphic and an EV charging station graphic, and green arrows with white pulses circle between the three different power source graphics, and yellow check marks successively appear above each graphic.

[Sonya Vial]

They want power when they need power, and they need that kind of reliability in their electricity systems.

[David Black]

Working with Rice University has been great. No one really knows what the future holds, and so that makes it really fun for us to figure out what are their needs and how can we help them transition to a more sustainable future.
