About this title

Synopsis

The global energy landscape is undergoing a transformational shift. As the world transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydrogen, and energy storage, the demand for a skilled, adaptable workforce has never been greater. However, this transition is not just about technology and infrastructure-it is fundamentally about people.

In this rapidly evolving industry, Human Resources (HR) professionals are playing a pivotal role in ensuring that companies have the right talent, skills, and leadership to drive the clean energy revolution. The challenge is clear: renewable energy companies must not only attract top talent but also upskill, retain, and develop professionals in an industry that is constantly evolving. This requires a fundamental shift in HR strategies, from traditional hiring models to competency-based workforce development, leadership training, and AI-driven workforce planning. Through a structured approach, the book explores:

• Competency frameworks to define the skills required for key energy roles.
• Recruitment strategies that prioritise skills over credentials.
• Upskilling and reskilling initiatives to prepare employees for the future of work.
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to create a more representative workforce.

As we stand at the intersection of technological innovation and workforce transformation, the role of HR has never been more strategic. Those who embrace competency-driven workforce planning, digital transformation, and leadership development will be the architects of the next generation of energy professionals. I encourage HR professionals, energy executives, and policymakers to leverage the strategies in this book to create a workforce that is not just prepared for the future but empowered to shape it. The clean energy revolution is here-and it begins with people.
