94、Bulli Creek Solar Project and the expansion of rooftop solar at Adelaide Airport.However,there is a growing shortage of professionals for skilled labour,particularly in technical roles like solar PV installers,electricians,and engineers,exacerbated by the rapid pace of project approvals and installa
95、tions.Upskilling local workforces and attracting talent from overseas remain key priorities,and Gerald notes that international firms operating in the country should be aware of cultural norms and differences when it comes to keeping their talent happy,using flexible working as an example:“Where pro
96、fessionals working in Australia are likely to have longer commutes and therefore have a preference for remote working,coming back into the office post-COVID has been more accepted in other Asian countries.This can lead to culture clashes if,for example,a firm based in Mainland China is expecting sta
97、ff in Australia to be in the office,so hiring managers should bear this in mind.”Spotlight on SingaporeSolar is the leading renewable energy source in Singapore,supported by policies like the SolarNova program and various subsidies and incentives aimed at increasing adoption rates.But despite solar
98、PV capacity steadily rising and new projects continually being developed,much like the rest of the APAC region,attracting people with the right knowledge to work on these developments can be a struggle,as Gerald explains:“Singapore has a very stable government and economy,making it a very attractive
99、 place for businesses.What we are seeing,however,is that there are now increased requirements for employment passes for international talent,so its harder for them to come to Singapore for work.Rent is also increasing,making it less affordable to live there.Compensation packages need to be regularly
100、 reviewed to ensure they are still attractive to skilled professionals as a result.”R EN EWAB LE EN ER GY CO MPE N SATI O N SU R VEY R E P O RT 202433SummaryAs Asia-Pacific continues its shift away from traditional energy sources towards renewables,having the right expertise on board is critical for
