The UK economy depends on the energy sector. Employment in energy is relatively small but it achieves the highest productivity per worker of any sector. The sector’s importance will only increase in the future as the economy strives to meet the challenge of the low carbon agenda and achieve greater energy security. Technology will be central to meeting these challenges but will create substantial skills needs.

This evidence report and summary slide pack outline the performance challenges facing the sector, the ‘real-life’ skills solutions implemented by leading and successful businesses to overcome them, and the benefits from doing so
