Energy

Securing the clean energy transition

IES Energy Icon

A clean energy future

Energy sector professionals working in the environmental field develop, manage, and optimise energy production, distribution, and consumption. This often includes minimising the negative environmental impacts of energy generated from renewable and non-renewable sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing sustainable practices. Their work involves designing, monitoring, and maintaining energy systems, assessing energy needs, and addressing challenges such as energy security, environmental impacts, and climate change mitigation.

Energising the sector

Effective action in the energy sector is dependent on knowledge of the industry, but also an understanding of noise, biodiversity, groundwater and air quality impacts, amongst others. Being part of the IES provides an opportunity to connect with environmental professionals across disciplines, providing myriad opportunities for interdisciplinary knowledge-sharing and development of systems-led solutions. There are several relevant Communities for energy professionals, including our Climate Action Community, EIA Community, Air Quality Community and Noise and Vibration Forum.
