Growth in the renewal energy sector is on the way after the government announced new investment proposals, leading to the possibility of new interim worker positions to be created in the process.
Thanks to the government’s plan to invest anywhere between £20 billion and £25 billion into renewable energy technology between 2013 and 2017, the nation’s energy sector is poised to grow over the next five years. New positions for both permanent and contract workers are likely to arise due to this sector growth, and umbrella companies are poised to begin providing skilled contractors and freelancers to the industry in order to meet this expected demand.
Secretary of state for Energy and Climate Change, Edward Davey, recently remarked on the UK’s renewable energy sector, commenting on how the next few years will be exceedingly busy ones for the energy industry. The UK economy could receive a boom in the billions of pounds from renewable energy, Mr Davey added, stating that the jobs market across the country will benefit from the growth it will bring.
The government’s pledge of a minimum of £20 billion in financial support will work to make investment choices more varied and aid in making sure that the rapid growth of the renewable energy sector will continue, said Mr Davey. Renewable energy sources are to play a key role for the security of the UK’s energy needs, the secretary also stated, as the country strives to shrug off the yoke of foreign oil interests.
In related news, the government has also announced recently that proposals have been made to improve the nation’s railways with an eye towards the reduction of carbon emissions.
