Women must come out of the shadows in the energy sector
The emerging priorities on both renewable energy and energy efficiency opens new opportunities in the industry to diversify the sector’s workforce. The rise of a wide spectrum of new jobs in response to the greening of energy offers a timely window of opportunity to fundamentally change the current bias in the sector alongside enabling more women to rise to leadership positions in the traditional energy business.
