The renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors are not only driving forward independence from fossil fuels, but are also a significant growth of jobs in the European Union. In 2022, employment reached a new high of over 2.5 million full-time equivalents in the EU – more than ever before. This represents massive growth compared to the year 2000, when the number of employees was just over 500,000. Over more than two decades, there has been a clear and continuous upward trend in job creation. This development strengthens regional value creation, promotes the European economy and increases energy policy sovereignty.
