The future of the electrical industry, solar, EV charging and energy storage

At ELEX Show 2025, The Electrical Academy had conversations with businesses across the trade about where the electrical industry is heading. The direction is clear, demand is shifting, and electricians who keep their knowledge current will have more options as the sector evolves.

Solar PV, energy storage and EV infrastructure

Topics raised include solar installations, EESS and EV charging infrastructure, all of which are growing areas that require solid technical understanding, safe working practices, and correct testing and certification. For apprentices and qualified electricians alike, future-focused skills are becoming part of everyday work.

Staying current with City and Guilds electrical courses

At The Electrical Academy, we offer City and Guilds electrical courses designed to support progression, competence and compliance. Whether you’re training as an apprentice electrician or looking to upskill, the goal is the same, learning that holds up on real jobs and keeps pace with the industry.

Thank you to all the companies who took time to speak with us and share their perspective.
