Did you know that in 2024, renewable energy is creating 5x more jobs than fossil fuels? The oil industry has generated significant wealth, but here's a statistic that might surprise many: clean energy jobs outnumber fossil fuel jobs by more than 2.5 to 1. Excluding oil and focusing solely on coal and gas, the ratio jumps to 5 to 1. This means for every 1,000 jobs in the coal and gas sectors, there are 5,000 opportunities in the renewable energy sector. These jobs are often created locally. While much of our oil and fuel are imported, renewable energy offers substantial potential for domestic job creation! 💚 🌲 🍃 🌍 🌤

What's the biggest challenge you're facing in renewable energy projects right now? 🌍 As we push towards a greener future, the renewable energy sector is facing some significant hurdles. One of the most pressing issues is the integration of renewable energy into existing power grids. With the intermittent nature of sources like wind and solar, ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply is a complex task. This challenge is compounded by the need for substantial investments in grid infrastructure and energy storage solutions. At LSP Renewables, we are dedicated and looking forward to connecting top talent with these innovative and exciting projects to help overcome this hurdle, successfully supporting our clients achieve their growth ambitions and overcome skills gaps. We believe that by providing the best talent, we can drive the industry forward and achieve our net-zero emissions targets. What challenges are you facing in your renewable energy projects?

🌍 100% renewable energy: Is it possible without limitations? 🌍 Many people wonder if we will run out of energy if we rely solely on renewables. This common concern suggests that we would have to restrain ourselves when using 100% renewable energy, but that belief is absolutely false! 🪫Currently, we are heavily dependent on finite fossil fuels like coal and petroleum, which will eventually run out. As our reserves dwindle, the urgency for a sustainable energy transition becomes clear. 🔋The good news is that renewable energy sources, particularly solar and wind, are abundant and can meet our energy demands. As we look to the future, projections indicate that electricity demand will double by 2050 due to sector coupling, as more sectors shift to electricity as their primary power source. Remarkably, this increased demand could still be entirely covered by solar energy, given its immense potential to meet global energy needs many times over. #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #CleanPowerRevolution #UnlimitedGreenEnergy

Renewables jobs on the rise! Renewable Energy and Jobs: Annual Report 2023 published by International Energy Agency (IEA) in collaboration with International Labour Organization finds that in 2022 there were 13.7 million jobs in renewable energy worldwide (up from 12.7 million in 2021). Close to two-thirds of all jobs are in Asia, where China alone accounts for 41% of the global total. https://lnkd.in/evhExSdh #renewableenergy #futureofjobs #energytransition

Tasmania achieved 100% renewable energy in 2020 which led it to plan to double its renewable energy generation capacity by 2040. This would give it a significant export surplus. With most of its energy coming from hydro and a sub-sea connection to the National Electricity Market, Tasmania is well positioned to provide grid stabilisation and energy storage to Australia’s Eastern States while generating significant interstate revenue. This opportunity is now being balanced against the announced objective to re-focus hydro-electric energy generation on creating jobs and lowering electricity prices for Tasmanians.

Origin Energy will delay the closure of Australia’s largest coal-fired power station amid concerns renewable energy isn’t being added fast enough to keep pace with plans to quit fossil fuels. Here's what you need to know: ~ The Eraring Power Station, which supplies roughly a quarter of NSW's power demand, will now shutter in August 2027 ~ This follows an agreement between Origin and the NSW government to extend the coal plant's lifespan by an additional two years, after concerns that an early closure would risk energy reliability in the state ~ Australia's task of quitting fossil fuels is being complicated by the sluggish rollout of utility-scale renewable projects to replace the lost coal generation capacity Read the full story on Bloomberg News.
