More than 100,000 jobs are now in the renewable energy sector according to a new report. The 2014 Review study by consultancy PwC and Innova, and published by the Renewable Energy Association (REA), also estimates that £64 billion of investment will be made in the industry by 2020.

“This report highlights the close relationship between clear, stable policies and sustained growth and jobs in the renewable energy industry,” said Nina Skorupska chief executive, REA.

“The government’s renewable electricity policies have incentivised nearly £28 billion of private investment since 2010, achieving annual growth rates of over 20%. The world’s first Renewable Heat Incentive is also beginning to spur positive growth in green heating. This is a tremendous success story,” she added.

A total of £29.8 billion was invested in renewables in the UK between 2010 and 2013, of which £27.7 billion was invested in renewable electricity.
