About the session

The energy sector faces major challenges over the coming decades. Huge investments in new generation, network replacement and network enhancement are required, just at a time when approximately 40% of people with the necessary skills approach retirement. Attracting new entrants, education, training and retraining them has proven challenging in recent years. The potential lack of future skills therefore poses a significant threat to the security of supply and the ability to deliver the desired outcome of reducing CO2 emissions.
