According to the Clean Energy Jobs Plan (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero – DESNZ, 2025), ‘clean energy jobs’ are those that “directly support the low-carbon energy transition, encompassing clean energy generation, transmission and distribution, greenhouse gas removals, clean heat, and energy efficiency. […]
They cover a range of occupations, from technical jobs such as machine operators and welders to engineers and designers, to desk-based jobs such as planners and project managers.
[…]
‘Clean power jobs’ are a subset of clean energy jobs relating to jobs in sectors critical for meeting our ambitions to reach Clean Power 2030 (Clean Power Action Plan).”
These are slightly different to wider green jobs, which encompass a broader range of occupations including sustainable design, biodiversity, conservation, sustainable finance (among many more).
