Choosing what to do after college can feel overwhelming, especially when the traditional university route doesn’t quite feel like the right fit.

As part of our Lightbulb Moments campaign, we’re sharing the stories of apprentices whose curiosity and passion have sparked careers in green energy.

A number of leading businesses have come together to establish the Social Value Commission, an independent body which will advise national policymakers and work with local government on ways to ensure local residents share the benefits of investment and private sector initiatives in their communities.

As we work towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, one thing is clear: the transition will only succeed if everyone feels seen and supported as their true selves.

• E.ON has signed the national Fertility Support Pledge, backing cross‑party efforts to improve workplace rights for anyone undergoing fertility treatment.
• The commitment aligns with the Fertility Treatment (Right to Time Off) Bill, introduced by Alice Macdonald MP, which calls for statutory paid leave for fertility appointments.
• E.ON already provides industry‑leading fertility support, including unlimited paid fertility leave, flexible working, manager training and peer‑led networks such as the Fertility Forum.

E.ON has partnered with the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) to offer courses in first aid through its Net Zero Training Academy.

Building a cleaner, greener energy system goes hand in hand with creating a workplace where everyone feels safe to be themselves.

Following a successful nationwide partnership in 2025, this renewed collaboration reinforces E.ON’s commitment to investing in people, careers, and the future of the UK energy workforce.

• More than one in three UK school leavers now opt for work over university, with apprentice vacancies up by 8% according to the Institute of Student Employers (ISE)
• 44% of young people are attracted to green jobs to feel proud of their work
• Nearly half of the UK’s youth are already aiming for green careers, while 52% believe roles that help the planet are more valuable than those that don’t

We’re celebrating the people behind the technology that keeps the UK’s energy systems running safely, efficiently and sustainably.

Responding to the Government's Warm Homes Plan, Chris Norbury, CEO of E.ON UK, said:

As the UK moves towards a clean system, flexibility will play a defining role in keeping costs down, integrating renewables and ensuring the system works for consumers. New collaborative research from Energy Systems Nexus highlights why unlocking flexibility is no longer optional — and why action is needed now.
