There are calls to power up the energy sector's workforce so it doesn't short-circuit.
A report by two industry groups —Energy Resources Aotearoa and the Electricity Engineers’ Association— has found the current size of the workforce is a constraint on growth.
It recommends a new energy workforce governing body and a more bipartisan approach on energy to ensure job security.
Electricity Engineers Association Chief Executive Nicki Sutherland told Ryan Bridge there's no crisis yet, but there could be in the future.
She says the sector is fundamentally tied to prosperity, so we need to ensure we have the right plans in place now.
