Last week I spent a few (hot!) days in Philadelphia for the inaugural RE+ Mid-Atlantic conference and exhibition. I was told by SEIA that attendance was 150% more than they had anticipated for this conference, so you can bet we’ll see this event on the 2024 calendar. The RE+ regional shows have been a big […]

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve experienced the Canadian wildfire season this summer. And, unfortunately, the poor air from Canada is now circulating as far as Europe, too. Canada has reported an incredible 2,981 wildfires so far this season. As I write the Recruiter’s Outlook for June, there are 483 known wildfires currently burning. […]

Continuing my conversation from October, I’m returning to focus on Canada. It seems that the Inflation Reduction Act ($370B climate change policy) in the US has catalyzed Canadian incentives once again.  Earlier this month, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced a 30% refundable tax credit for renewable energy, energy storage, heat pumps, and EV vehicles and […]

I believe it has. When hiring metrics are the lifeblood of your business, hyper-tracking comes with the territory. And I suspect that in April we saw the very first sign of the employment market in renewable energy beginning to slow. Maybe it is because of the uncertainty surrounding the circumvention case currently sitting with the […]

As I pondered what to write about in April, I couldn’t decide between two important topics within renewable energy job news: ‘job growth’ in offshore wind or potential ‘job loss’ in solar? Ultimately, I decided that since they are both very immediate, I will address both now with our subscriber base of 17,000 clean energy […]

Final Outlook of the year! As we wind down 2021, let’s give a quick recap of renewable energy under the Biden administration. First and foremost, our industry finally felt some certainty and assurance from the federal government. This certainty has spiked growth in residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar, onshore & offshore wind, and battery energy […]

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has reported that global jobs in renewable energy increased from 11.5 million to 12 million in 2020. IRENA has also forecasted that by 2050, there will be 43 million jobs in renewable energy! If you’d like to read the report in detail, here it is. The UN Climate Change Conference […]

This is our first newsletter of 2019, which is poised to be an aggressive year in the US clean energy market. Our January finished up to be the single most successful month for EnergeiaWorks. We had more placements this month than any previous month in our eight-year history. This is a great indication of the […]

Renewable energy hiring in Q4 of 2018 remains extremely strong. I’m a big proponent of metrics to drive performance of our team. Of the 10 metrics I track monthly, 7 of them in October grew by 100% over September’s figures. We broke our single month record for new searches within our existing customer base and […]

Bag is packed and I’m confirming a few last meetings for my eighth Intersolar North America Conference. Thus, I have the solar employment market on my mind and can’t help but re-think about the module tariff that was intended to bring back US manufacturing jobs, yet, it’s done the opposite. We can now add Tesla […]
