The East Midlands was once home to a chain of coal-fired power stations along the Trent. The last of them, Ratcliffe-on-Soar, closed in 2024. Today the region’s energy work is shifting to gas, grid upgrades, offshore wind run from Grimsby and solar farms across Lincolnshire.
That shift needs electrical, HV and renewable skills. Energy recruitment in the East Midlands often means helping experienced power station engineers move into new kinds of work.
