US clean energy jobs rose by 3.9% in 2022, outpacing overall energy employment growth, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). Solar and wind power led the way, creating over 346,000 and nearly 126,000 jobs, respectively. Energy efficiency jobs increased by 2.3%, while clean-energy vehicle manufacturing saw a rise of over 38,000 jobs. The sector as a whole recovered by 71% from the pandemic-related job losses with a 3.8% employment increase. President Biden's Investing in America agenda and recent legislation, like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, continue to drive clean energy expansion. The DOE remains committed to supporting a skilled workforce for clean energy technologies. #Solarblocks #SolarSolutions #SolarInstallation #CleanEnergy #GoSolar #RenewableEnergy #NYHomes #NYSolarHome #SolarSolutionsNY #NYCSolarPower #SolarNY #NewYork #NewYorkCity #usa

Nice report from Solar & Storage Live and Solar Energy UK on the UK Solar market. A couple of things immediately stood out to me: "Two challenges that could hinder the continued growth of Solar in the UK are infrastructure issues and a shortage of skilled workers in the sector." "According to the 'Race to Net Zero' report, the energy transition requires the creation of 400,000 new jobs by 2050." That presents one hell of a big challenge (and a big opportunity) for companies operating in the market. #renewableenergy #solarenergy #recruitment

According to the report, 'upskilling the current workforce and attracting a new, well-trained workforce will help the UK Solar industry stay on track to reach industry targets'. But how will the industry meet the forecasted need for an extra 400,000 specialists by 2050? Undoubtedly, the #solar #talent markets are becoming increasingly competitive. Organisations often don't have the time required to upskill due to pressure from investors to deliver projects on time and within budget. This is when a strong talent strategy and a competitive employee value proposition come into play.

High costs and lack of quality government support are some of the leading global barriers to renewables investment. It's also the case for offshore wind in the UK following the recent AR5 auction ⚠️   That's according to Womble Bond Dickinson's 2024 Energy Transition Survey Outlook 2024. Want to learn more? Dive into the details here ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eZWatwAK Today, the Government has listened to industry calls, which sees fixed bottom / floating offshore wind getting a much-needed boost for the rounds of contracts: ✅ A 66% increase (compared to AR5) in fixed bottom (from £44/MWh to £73/MWh) ✅ A 52% increase in floating (from £116/MWh to £176/MWh) ✅ Separate offshore wind pot in AR6 ✅ Increased support for onshore wind (from £52.2/MWh to £64/MWh); solar (£47/MWh to £61/MWh); tidal ( from £202/MWh to £261/MWh).   These are positive steps that will restore investors' confidence, keeping the UK on the right track as a global leader in offshore wind and renewables   This will likely pique developers' interest in the upcoming Offshore Wind Leasing Round 5 in the Celtic Sea (exclusively dedicated to floating wind) 🤔   Sustainability, net zero, carbon reduction and social value will be the buzzwords for the upcoming Offshore Wind Leasing Round 5, as offers will be assessed on environmental, social value, skills and inclusion intel, based on the UK Government’s social value model (SVM). After all, as the Government consults on "sustainable industry rewards", it pays to put carbon emissions reductions and social benefits at the forefront of your supply chains and projects 💰 Read the announcement on the GOV UK website 👀 https://lnkd.in/e6hArbmG Need some clarity?

All connection but no supply, classic grid! - The National Grid delays are “descending into a farce” according to Solar Energy UK, as projects with accelerated connections remain unable to supply electricity for years. - The root of this issue is an “utter lack” of network modelling professionals able to conduct power flow analysis. The “high pressure working environment” causes these professionals to leave DNOs in favour of consultancy roles and, as the shortage is global, skilled workers in this space from abroad are also scarce.
