Considerable investments have been made in clean energy and energy efficiency in recent years. As a result, energy efficiency activities are rapidly growing across all industries, and so is energy efficiency employment.
Our 2023 survey of business establishments in Canada reveals that there were more than 466,000 workers directly involved in the provision of energy-efficient goods and services across six major industries:
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- Wholesale Trade
- Professional and Business Services
- Utilities
- Other Services
In this report, you will learn about
- Establishments, revenues, export readiness and employment in Canada’s energy efficiency sector in 2023.
- Workforce distribution includes work intensity, industry, sub-technology application, occupation and demographics.
- Estimated job growth in 2024 in the energy efficiency sector, and hiring challenges reported in 2023.
