Employment in the Renewable Energy Sector
Key Findings
- Information on this topic together with readable explanation can be found at Scottish Energy Statistical Hubs Oil and Gas section.
- The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes an annual survey on the UK’s low-carbon and renewable energy economy, but in the past few years, this survey has included only direct activity. Scottish Renewables believes that the economic impact of renewables goes beyond direct activity so we’ve asked the University of Strathclyde’s Fraser of Allander Institute to conduct its own study, based on ONS figures, to estimate indirect and induced activity.
- The latest report reveals that Scotland’s renewable energy industry and its supply chain supported more than 42,000 jobs and generated over £10.1 billion of output in 2021. Breakdown of employment in 2021 across renewable energy in Scotland. This number includes direct, indirect and induced jobs.
