The younger generations are much more used to thinking and talking about renewables as a key priority for the future. Employers in the sector need to harness the diversity of thought they bring
Deploying solar power at a commercial scale is such a young industry that we’ve always had a big intake of relatively young people. It’s tough to find employees with a 20- or 30-year-long career in this sector – there just isn’t an abundance of that sort of experience. We’re an industry that’s constantly evolving, and that means there are new and exciting career paths being created all of the time.
Lightsource bp has been developing solar projects since 2010. We’ve built three-gigawatt (GW) of solar capacity across the world (enough to power around 1m homes), with about another 16GW of solar projects in various stages of development. We employ 500 people across 14 different countries and are expanding fast as demand for renewable energy grows.
