The renewable energy sector has experienced significant global growth in recent decades. As noted by Deloitte in their 2018 Deloitte Insight ‘Global Renewable Energy Trends’ article, renewables are becoming a ‘preferred’ energy choice globally. Deloitte’s report notes seven ‘enabling trends’ and ‘demand trends’ driving this process:

 Enabling trends: price and performance parity, balancing the grid and new technology and innovation

 Demand trends: smart cities, community energy, new emerging markets and growing corporate energy buying

Renewable energy offers a very good opportunity for jobs to migrate across to the green sector from traditional heavy industry roles. The sector has roles in areas, including manufacturing, site installation and engineering design, as well as research, environmental management, and impact assessment. This ‘role transferability’ makes it an attractive choice for governments globally, as the transition process for jobs, skills and infrastructure is streamlined, compared to implementing very ‘different’ new technologies. This book has a chapter on Renewables and Energy.
