Scotland’s electrical sector is at a turning point, with electrification presenting both challenges and opportunities. In Electrifying Our Future, our latest digital series produced in partnership with ECA - Excellence in Electrotechnical and Engineering Services, we speak with industry leaders like Alan Wilson, Managing Director at SELECT - Trade Association for Electrical Contracting Industry Scotland, to uncover the realities behind the energy transition. Wilson highlights the sector’s steady apprentice recruitment but warns of a growing skills gap, an ageing workforce, and the need for greater diversity. Smaller firms — especially in rural areas — struggle with workforce development, while larger companies with stable work pipelines are better positioned for the future. As demand surges for expertise in renewable energy, EVs, and the electrification of heat, Wilson stresses the urgent need for upskilling and business diversification. With policies shaping the phase-out of gas products, Scotland’s energy future depends on a workforce ready to lead the way. Join us as we explore the innovations, skills, and people driving the shift to a net-zero future.

"There are now more EV chargers than petrol nozzles in this country, and the rollout continues at pace. But all of those charge points need to be installed correctly and tested. That's where companies like Megger come in. Their bespoke equipment speeds up and streamlines the testing and installation process so businesses and technicians have more time to roll out the technologies we need for the energy transition safely and at the speed required."  — Luke Denne, Head of Editorial at CWP. The future of electrification must be safe, seamless, and smart.

"'Each species going extinct is like losing a whole piece of Mozart's music or a sonnet by Shakespeare'. These words from Tom really hit home and remind us of the importance of biodiversity within the built environment. It got me thinking about how we are part of that biodiversity, too! Building homes, for instance, is very much like an animal building its nest. We need and indeed deserve homes, schools, offices and all the rest... but do we deserve them any more than a bird does? A big thanks to Tom for this enlightening interview, which brought together the moral, financial, and ecological perspectives on biodiversity net gain." — Vincent Kavanagh, Creative Content Producer at Content With Purpose.
