The number of workers in the UK’s offshore energy sector could increase to as much as 220,000 by the end of this decade, a new report has claimed. It also found that for the UK to meet its target of producing 40 gigawatts of energy from offshore wind by 2030, 2,500 new wind turbines would need to be installed by then – the equivalent of one new turbine each week day for the next nine years. The figures were revealed in a new review of the offshore energy sector in the UK produced by experts at Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University. As well as forecasting a possible increase in the workforce, it suggested roles in “decarbonised energies” – such as offshore wind and carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) – would increase from just a fifth of jobs currently to almost two thirds (65%) by 2030.
