Renewable energy development can drive economic growth, create new jobs and enhance human health and welfare. IRENA’s leveraging local capacity series examines how renewable energy projects create jobs and how countries can maximise these benefits by anticipating their needs and building on existing skills and resources. These analyses outline the workforce and the types of jobs required across the entire value chain of selected technologies – from manufacturing to installation and operation, to help decision-makers identify opportunities for local value creation and workforce development.
