Energy storage electrical jobs environmental protection

What makes the energy storage industry so interesting?

The energy storage industry is still fairly young compared to others like wind or solar. This means it’s rapidly growing, changing and innovating (part of what makes working in the industry so interesting).

What makes field a great energy storage company?

The energy storage industry is no exception. At Field, they are the glue that holds us together - whether that’s by bringing new talent into the business, negotiating contracts or ensuring we have a strong balance sheet. They’re absolutely essential to the Field business, enabling us to do the work we do.

Which energy sector provides the most jobs per investment?

As indicated in the table, energy efficiency options provide the most jobs per investment, followed by biomass and hydroelectric sources of electricity supply. Table 2.

What role does technology play in energy storage?

Technology has a very important role to play in energy storage and has been instrumental in getting the industry to where it is now. That said, we’re still learning and solving complex problems each day. This means the industry needs software developers and data scientists, along with machine learning and optimisation experts.

Can green buildings create jobs?

In general, across the regions, we see the greatest potential for job creation in green buildings using the technologies discussed herein coming from: (1) heat pump use for large buildings and (2) battery storage in geographic regions and building types that generate solar in excess of demand, allowing for storage.

Does solar PV create a lot of jobs per building?

In some regions, jobs per building from new retail are also quite high, and even higher than from new or retrofitted office buildings, due to potential for battery storage for excess electricity generated from solar PV.
