The renewable energy industry could employ thousands more Australians over the next decade, but only if we take meaningful action now.
作为澳大利亚经济复苏的一部分，每一美元都会有助于或阻碍我们努力减少排放和过渡我们国家的碳限制未来。随着世界各地的政府，现在扩大他们在踢他们的经济方面并创造新工作的角色，他们有很多二元选择，以确定将导致这种恢复的行业和举措。
随着我们都很清楚，Covid-19对每个澳大利亚人的生活产生了深远的影响。对于幸运的人来说，可能涉及改变工作安排或家庭教育孩子。但是，对于许多其他澳大利亚人来说，由此产生的失业率和经济困难程度是几十年来尚未经历过的。
联邦政府合法地将创造就业创造在其计划中，以便跳跃经济，缓解这么多澳大利亚人的财务负担。然而，有关这些工作将创建的详细信息以及哪些行业仍然可以辩论。
我们最近发布的报告标题为在工作中清洁能源, makes a compelling case for the renewable energy industry to be at the forefront of these job creation efforts, with the added benefits of reducing emissions, stimulating the economy and accelerating the transition of our electricity system to renewable energy.
Our report was based on research conducted by the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney and is the largest study of current and projected employment in the Australian renewable energy industry. The study involved an industry-wide survey, measuring current employment and then applying employment factors to the scenarios in the Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) Integrated System Plan to estimate future job creation.
该研究表明，2019年澳大利亚可再生能源产业中雇用了超过25,000人，其中近10,000名在小型屋顶太阳能中的工作。总共，太阳能（小规模，大型和太阳能供暖）占可再生能源工作总额的56％，其次是28％，水电为10％，电池6％。
More importantly for Australia’s recovery from COVID-19, the research found that the renewable energy sector could employ as many as 44,000 people by 2025 if AEMO’s Step Change Scenario is adopted, and even more if more ambitious policy settings are implemented. The creation of almost 20,000 jobs in renewable energy over the next five years is ideally timed to help the many Australians who have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and by those who will feel the effects of the subsequent recession.
The report also found that the composition of the renewable energy industry is likely to change significantly over the next 15 years. By 2035, up to 70 per cent of all renewable energy job opportunities could be in rural and regional Australia, helping to redress some of the imbalance caused by the rapid migration of jobs to metropolitan centres.
The type of jobs available in the industry will also change as the industry matures. Currently, nearly 80 per cent of renewable energy jobs are short term and project-based in connection with the manufacturing, development, construction and installation of new sites. This is expected to shift considerably by 2035 when permanent jobs in operation and maintenance could account for up to half of all employment in the industry.
虽然这些发现对于可再生能源产业来说非常有前途，但需要大量的努力来使其成为现实。首先是可再生能源就业的重大增长假设有利的政策环境。这些政策制定认为，政府将使政府更加清晰，更清晰的政策承诺，为能源市场和电网提供投资信心和推动改革，以解决影响可再生能源的推出的不断增长的网络限制。
随着过去的二十年所表明，努力加速澳大利亚减排的排放，甚至满足我们的巴黎承诺，是一个政治雷区。不幸的是，过去的夏天的丛林大火和Covid-19流行病似乎没有改变重点，并与联邦政府和国家Covid-19协调委员会热情地兴起了从大流行的“燃气恢复”。
目前必须建立政策，创造一个稳定的投资环境，以推进澳大利亚巨大的风和太阳能项目管道。如果我们未能这样做，Covid-19呈现的一员机会将我们的电力系统过渡到一个基于清洁能源的电力系统将不会成为唯一丢失的东西。
在其中一个在工作中清洁能源报告更惊人的发现,它是预测that if we continue on our current trajectory – what AEMO deems its Central Scenario, whereby no additional state or federal policies are put in place – the industry could lose upwards of 11,000 jobs in the next three years.
现在和未来的行业的另一个问题是熟练和经验丰富的人缺乏可再生能源项目的缺乏问题。政策不确定性等问题，建筑和安装工作的短期性质，与其他行业的休息场所和薪酬竞争是难以吸引和保留优质工人的困难。
为了解决这个问题，我们需要改进现有的培训系统，为工人创造有针对性的上升课程，从其他行业转移并投资新工人的培训。除了创造急需的新工作机会外，这将确保该行业稳步供应工人，具有相关经验和资格。
The unemployment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in considerable hardship for many Australians. But as the在工作中清洁能源report shows, the renewable energy industry has the potential to get thousands of Australians back to work in rewarding jobs that create a better future and provide the regional and rural economy with a much-needed financial boost.
如果我们能够引入允许可再生能源行业的政策设置，可再生能源可以从Covid-19和澳大利亚加入全球各地的大量影响，以利用可再生能源来跳跃启动他们的人经济。
