While many of us are unwrapping gifts, there is another kind of present worth considering: the gift of high-value skills. The green energy transition is moving at an incredible pace. The most successful professionals I see are those who consistently invest in their own learning and development.

Nights, Sky-High Bills? Inside the UK’s Winter Energy Surge What if a single cold snap could send our energy demand soaring, and our bills right along with it? That is the reality we are facing with UK winters. By understanding these energy surges, we can navigate them wisely and keep our green goals on track. Today, I want to explore what drives these spikes and how we, as households, businesses, and an industry, can power through the colder months while keeping sustainabili

Where is Britain's power really coming from right now?  The answer to this in 2025 tells a story of amazing progress. We are living through a fundamental shift in our energy landscape. I thought it would be helpful to share a simple snapshot of what this looks like on our grid today. More importantly, I want to explore what it means for us, the people building our green energy future. So, let's pull back the curtain and look at what’s actually powering our lives this year.

The sheer scale of our industry's momentum is staggering. According to BloombergNEF, global investment in the energy transition soared to $2.1 trillion in 2024, with renewables, electrified transport, and grid upgrades leading the charge. But capital on its own does not build a wind farm or modernise a grid. That level of investment only translates into real-world outcomes when it is guided by skilled, passionate professionals. This is why purpose driven hiring has become a

As 2026 comes into sight, the pace of the clean energy transition is nothing short of inspiring. Solar and wind continue to break records, and sustainable construction is reshaping the way we live and work. The transition is not powered by policies or technology alone, it is driven by people. 

Renewable projects are scaling at record pace, data centres are expanding, and the built environment is being reshaped with sustainability at its core. Despite opposition from certain corners of the globe, renewables accounted for nearly three-quarters of global electricity growth in 2024, with solar and wind adding more clean power than ever before. For employers, this is the moment to think smarter about recruitment.

On April 28, 2025, the Iberian Peninsula experienced one of the most dramatic blackouts in recent European history. In just five seconds, 15 gigawatts of power, around 60% of Spain’s electricity supply, vanished… plunging tens of millions into darkness across Spain and Portugal. Transport halted, hospitals scrambled, internet and commerce collapsed. It was a stark reminder that our energy infrastructure, even in highly developed nations, is still alarmingly fragile.
