Recommendation 4

The Government must continue to tackle barriers preventing existing energy sector workers transitioning successfully. Skills Passports and associated funding should be expanded. The Government in its response to us should propose how the transferability of skills across traditional boundaries and between devolved administrations could be accommodated better by accreditation regimes. The Government should put in place commitments to transition the existing local skilled labour supply within Contracts for Difference and similar clean energy support mechanisms. These should include tangible workforce transition and support targets and leverage UK manufacturing content requirements where possible. (Recommendation, Paragraph 32)
