Electricity Transmission Industry Workforce Planning – Full Report

Workforce requirements of GB’s electricity transmission network operators and Supply Chain

This workforce planning analysis has been produced as part of the Electricity Transmission Industry Skills and Workforce Planning exercise which was convened in November 2024.

This exercise brings together Great Britain’s electricity transmission companies and their supply chain partners to investigate and seek to address some of the most pressing
challenges facing the electricity transmission workforce over the coming years, as it begins to implement the country’s largest ever investment in electricity transmission infrastructure.

The aims of this working group was to:

To produce an analysis of the current state of the ET
workforce, benchmarked against relevant industry and
geographical data
To produce an analysis of the people requirements of the ET
industry over the coming 10-15 years
To develop a set of conclusions and recommendations both
for this working group and other groups in the wider ET
project

This report is based on current workforce data and applied assumptions provided by Great Britain’s three electricity transmission companies and 20 supply chain partner companies.
