Global Renewable Energy Growth Faces Transmission and Talent Challenges
Global energy transition efforts highlight critical challenges in infrastructure and workforce development. While renewable energy capacity surged by 15.5% globally in 2025, surpassing coal in electricity generation, transmission infrastructure remains a major bottleneck. In India, rapid growth in renewables demands nearly a million skilled professionals by 2030, but a significant talent shortage persists despite government training initiatives. Addressing both technological and human capital gaps is essential for advancing clean energy goals worldwide.
