Plumbers and electricians could find that their job opportunities vastly increase by taking a green energy training course, following comments by therenewableenrgycentre.co.uk.

It was recently revealed that the Crown Estate, which owns Britain's coastal seabeds, granted rights to energy firms to build up to 6,400 turbines on offshore windfarms.

According to a spokesperson for the therenewableenrgycentre.co.uk, such plans would give a welcome boost to the UK's renewable energy industry.

However, she stated that workers with green skills and qualifications will be needed to make sure the sector meets its growth potential.

"It is important that the government seizes this time to ensure the skills and workforce are in place to accommodate the expansion of the wind energy industry," she said.

She added that if the sector continues to progress, there will always be demand for new jobs and skills.

Plumbing or electrician training courses could be perfect for tradespersons looking to increase their knowledge of green energy and expand their skills.
