Experts are needed in renewable technologies, grid and system integration, data and IT solutions, energy trading, and transformation and large-scale project management. The bottleneck in the industry is less financing than qualified personnel.

The energy industry is currently not a “normal market,” but rather a strategic playing field between politics, capital, and technology. Decisions are less operational and more structural. For top management, this means managing transformation rather than just running a business.

It is undergoing a fundamental transformation from a centralized, fossil fuel-based generation logic to a decentralized, renewable, and digitally controlled energy system. To this end, wind and solar parks, storage facilities, grids, and hydrogen infrastructure are being massively expanded, while at the same time regulation, capital requirements, and price volatility are increasing.
