renewable energy survey.png

You are invited to complete a survey on the experience or capabilities of your business to undertake work for renewable energy – be it in construction, operation and maintenance, manufacturing, equipment supply, professional services, distribution, transport or mineral processing.

The survey is being administered by the Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF) at University of Technology Sydney and SGS Economics and Planning, on behalf of the Renewable Energy Sector Board (RESB) & Department of Planning, Industry, and Environment (DPIE).

The aim of the survey is to collate information on the capabilities of regional businesses to increase opportunities for local industry and employment.

Survey responses will be aggregated and reported anonymously. The survey gives you the option to provide the name of your business to enable the NSW Government to contact you if it decides to develop a directory in the future.

Click RESB Survey to participate in the survey. The survey will close on 16 August 2021.

 

About the research

From May to September 2021, researchers from ISF and SGS are undertaking a study - Baseline and Opportunities Study on Renewable Energy Sector Supply Chains, Employment and Skills - to identify, scope and assess the local supply chain capacity, employment and regional development opportunities enabled by the establishment of Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) in NSW.

The project will provide advice to the NSW RESB, which has been established to prepare and provide a plan to the Minister for Energy and Environment on how to cost-effectively maximise local industry development, employment and opportunities for apprentices and trainees enabled by the electricity infrastructure constructed under the NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, including the establishment of Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) in NSW.

ISF and SGS researchers are conducting this survey of local businesses in the NSW REZs to help develop a detailed understanding of regional capacity as well as the barriers to building local capacity and employment in renewable energy supply chains.

 

About the survey

It is anticipated that the survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete and will cover:

  • General description of your business

  • General capability of your business in relation to the renewable energy supply chain e.g. equipment supply, services

  • Renewable energy project or contract experience

  • Business constraints to increasing involvement and what could be done to minimise opportunities
