Navigating the Unique Recruitment Market in Germany and Europe for Solar, Wind and Battery Projects

The smarter E Podcast Episode 209 | March 20, 2025 | Language: English

In our The smarter E podcast, we talk to Tom Essex, co-founder and managing partner of Kigyo Solution, about how the energy transition will accelerate the demand for labor. With the European Green Deal now being linked to the Clean Industrial Act, it's crucial to monitor its impact on the labor market.


The energy transition and the expansion of production capacity in the EU could require over a million new jobs by 2030, at a time when the industry is already struggling with labor shortages. We want to know how the problem can be solved, what models exist and what appropriate support for the industry could look like?

Hybrid solar power plants are an emerging area in the energy sector, combining various technologies to provide more efficient and reliable power generation. With a close look on various case studies of hybrid solar power plants we will demonstrate that these systems are increasingly being used as viable solutions to meet growing energy demands, particularly in regions with variable weather conditions. By integrating solar installations with other energy sources, such as wind power or conventional power plants, a continuous power supply can be ensured, even when solar radiation fluctuates.
