Renewable Energy Jobs

There are many high-paying jobs in renewable energy and the industry grows more each year.

Renewable energy jobs are thriving because renewable energy is a growth industry. Renewables are set to account for almost 95% of the increase in global power capacity through 2026, with solar PV alone providing more than half.

Renewables are set to contribute 80% of new power generation capacity by 2030. More than a third of the world’s electricity will come from renewables in 2025. It’s on track to provide 35-50% of electricity in the United States in 2030.

California, the world’s fifth-largest economy, now regularly generates more renewable energy than it needs.

Jobs in solar outnumber jobs in coal mining and the oil and gas industry combined. The number of renewable energy jobs worldwide increased in 2021 despite the huge economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the growing industry holding up better than fossil fuels.

There were 12 million jobs in renewable energy and its supply chains in 2020, a third of them in solar power.…
