Workforce planning to deliver clean, secure energy

Inquiry

The committee has launched an inquiry on how to build the workforce that is needed to deliver the policies and infrastructure for the UK’s clean, secure energy mission.  

The inquiry aims to:   

  • explore the difficulties in recruiting and retraining the workforce to deliver a clean energy sector and retrofit homes and businesses;  
  • assess how the new Office for Clean Energy jobs can contribute to workforce planning; and
  • gain an understanding of the specific role of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero in delivering clean energy jobs.

 

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was 5:00pm on 13 January 2025.
