It’s clear that Net Zero, savings for consumers and overall energy costs are still driving decisions. It’s also said that both the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and Home Energy Scotland Schemes are helping to drive the domestic market? However, training is definitely one of the biggest issues aecting growth within the Heat Pump sector. This issue has much on training; The Energy Training Network looks at what happens if a ground array is undersized, with training solutions to prevent in the future. The HHIC discusses the role of diversifying UK engineers skills sets. Gri Thomas from GTEC looks at the policies, mechanisms and funding that is fuelling momentum within the sector. How are you finding skill levels? Do you have enough skilled engineers? Do you struggle to find suitable training courses? Contact me via julietl@warnersgroup.co.uk with your feedback.
