10,000 Jobs Could Be Created By Power Network Upgrade

28 Apr 2012

10,000 Jobs Could Be Created By Power Network Upgrade Ernst & Young says that as any as 10,000 new full and part time jobs could be created in the UK by making improvements to the power distribution network.

By utilising smart grid technologies, the UK government could inject £13 billion into the economy and create thousands of full and part time job opportunities according to a new report by the professional services company.

Smart grid technology could be used to improve the efficiency with which electricity is generated and distributed to houses and companies throughout the UK say backers of the proposed new technology.

Ernst & Young’s utilities director, Bill Easton, spelled out the benefits that could come from smart grid upgrades: “In addition to the direct economic benefits, we can also expect to see wider economic benefits to the UK, providing a welcome boost to growth, jobs and exports. These could include close to 10,000 new jobs and exports in excess of £5 billion. Overall, the report paints a compelling case in favour of smart grids.”
