Tradespersons in the UK who have gained their approved qualifications after taking an electrical or green energy course may be set for a boost following the chancellor of the exchequer's Budget announcement yesterday (March 24th).
According to the Department of Energy and Climate Change, funding for low carbon technologies was a big part of Mr Darling's speech, with details of the Green Investment Bank - which is hoped will boost the energy sector and bring forward green electricity provision - and reform of the energy market being revealed.
Commenting on the news, energy and climate change secretary Ed Miliband said: "This Budget will help propel the UK further and faster towards the green industries of the future. Jobs, growth, energy security and the fight against climate change are all winners."
Workers who have completed electrical courses may also find their services in increasing demand after Mr Darling raised the stamp duty threshold from £125,000 to £250,000 for first-time buyers.
This could lead to more property purchasers needing repair and maintenance work being carried out in their new properties.
