ECA has been highlighted in a new Welsh Government Net Zero Skills Action Plan designed to create a stronger, fairer, greener Wales.

The plan commits Wales to a just transition away from the fossil-fuelled economy, with skills playing a central role. It features ECA’s Leading the Charge initiative, which showcased the low-carbon engineering services work of Welsh ECA Member EFT Consult.

Jeremy Parkin, Director of Welsh ECA Member firm Powerlink Electrical Services, said:

“ECA members and the electricians and apprentices whom we employ are absolutely essential to a successful green transition for Wales. We welcome Welsh Government’s recognition of this fact in their excellent Net Zero Skills Action Plan, and look forward to ever closer collaboration between Government, the education sector and ourselves to help make Wales’s green, electrified future a reality.”

Chris Jenkins, Director of Welsh ECA Member firm EFT Consult, added: “Any companies that are considering investing in training and technology, I’d say go for it. Net zero and the demand for electrification is not something that’s going to go away. It’s only going to grow. Make the commitment and I believe it’ll pay off.”
