Hi Oli, I've seen some sensible and reliable stuff from the Wind Energy Association, and also from EU Skills, in whose sector footprint most of this falls. (Google should guide you to these.) You might also try calling ONE North East, the RDA for the North East, who have an energy team who would be able to provide you with masses of information, some of which might make sense. Wind energy is a key plank of their development plan for oop North. Also, Northumberland College is a key player in the European skills field for this, as is the Joseph Swan Institute at Newcastle University. Feel free to contact me off-list if you need help getting access here. Hope this helps.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some up to date, independent (meaning non-governmental) research into sustainable development / low carbon jobs, and the projected demands for these jobs. I have been through pretty much all the government and party reports, research etc, and frankly I am reluctant to trust the figures quoted! Is there any current data on jobs / skills requirements or any research focused on employer demands in different sectors with regard to sustainable development? I know (hope) that someone will come through for me so thanks to you in advance!!
