Clean Energy Skills - North West Regional Evidence Base Mapping

Description

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Working in collaboration with local government, businesses, educational institutes and other public, private and community sector organisations, we keep Cheshire and Warrington firmly on the map. The recent North West Clean Power Paper makes clear the North West's ambitions to deliver on the Government's Clean Power Mission. The major energy and infrastructure projects in the North West are key to unlocking Clean Power 2030 and Industrial Decarbonisation, and are key to economic growth across our region. It is vital that the workforce and supply chain are in place to support this pipeline, and that as many local residents, suppliers, and educational institutions are involved to secure local benefit. Substantial research has been conducted locally and nationally on workforce readiness and availability across key sectors, including the recent Regional Skills Pilot and North West Retrofit Skills Plan work. To support forward planning, a synthesis of evidence from across the clean energy sectors is required - showing where and when demand peaks for skills and jobs will take place across our geography, and identifying where demand for the same skills across different clean energy sectors could either cause supply problems or unlock new opportunities for collaboration. Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington, working on behalf of the North West Net Zero Hub and the Office for Clean Energy Jobs in the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, alongside existing and emerging Combined Authorities across the North West, are seeking to appoint Consultancy support to deliver an evidence-base report detailing the likely demand for Clean Energy jobs and skills across the region over the coming decade.
