If you read nothing else, read “Dark by 2050” and it will open your eyes to the Outlook of the Electrical Industry and the immediate need for Electricians.
Here is just a small sample from the research paper of how many Electricians will be needed by 2030.
“224,000 MORE ELECTRICIANS NEEDED BY 2030 We analyzed the average electrician Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) required for the installation of each solar/wind project, charging station, and heat pump, and the annual average installations required, and extrapolated out the need for additional electricians above and beyond the best case scenario of current electricians. What we found was a need for 224,737 additional electricians in the workforce by 2030, and 246,593 additional electricians in the workforce by 2050, to achieve the new construction requirements of the Clean Energy Future Workforce Scenario. Table 3.2 describes the electricians required for the installation by sector, as uncovered by our analysis. Adding on to the current workforce, the Clean Energy Future Workforce Scenario would require a total of 994,000 electricians in the workforce by 2030, and to maintain that level consistently through 2050.”
