Why the IEA is boosting focus on Southeast Asia’s energy transition

The International Energy Agency (IEA) opened its first regional office outside Paris at the end of 2024. Its choice of Singapore for the new Regional Cooperation Centre reflects both the city-state’s status as a financial and energy hub and Southeast Asia’s rising strategic importance. Charlie Bush reports.

Making industry safer, one job at a time

The latest Incident Data Report published by G+ last week demonstrates the value of reporting incidents both for individuals and companies working both in offshore wind and in other industries. As important as it is, other Energy Institute resources such as Toolbox can prove equally instructive, Senior Editor Will Dalrymple learned when he spoke with Siemens Gamesa’s Graeme Paterson.

How to address the skills gap in a future UK hydrogen economy

The energy transition faces a serious challenge on the skills front. In October 2024, the UK government released the ‘Invest 2035’ industrial strategy. This green paper allocated £21.7bn over 25 years to position the UK as a global leader in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and the hydrogen sector. However, a significant skills deficit poses a barrier to investment. A new Energy Systems Catapult position paper suggests mapping the required roles, upskilling and attracting talent to the hydrogen workforce and developing targeted training programmes. Here, Energy Institute (EI) Energy Transition Technical Officer Chimwemwe Kamwela AMEI provides an edited version of the paper.

Onshore and offshore wind H&S remains strong as working hours increase

According to the 2021 annual incident data reports published by SafetyOn and G+, two organisations run in partnership with the Energy Institute (EI), the number of health and safety (H&S) incidents in onshore and offshore wind remains low, despite the rapid growth in the wind energy sector. Beate Hildenbrand, EI Manager of Off/Onshore Wind, reports.

Female leadership: What it takes to crack the glass ceiling in the energy sector

As the global transition to clean energy accelerates, the need for diverse perspectives has never been more urgent. However, despite women constituting 39% of the global workforce, according to the International Energy Agency they account for only 16% of the traditional energy workforce. At management level, this figure is even lower. Addressing this disparity is essential not just for equity but for fostering innovation and resilience in the energy industry. Sara Siddeeq interviewed three accomplished women in the energy sector.
