For many years, the energy industry had certain perceptions about salary. That oil & gas pays higher than renewables; that multinational companies pay higher than Japanese firms; that large corporations are the best-paying players in the market. As the energy industry transitions and diversifies, subsidies and large-scale investment have flowed into new technologies across renewable …
As Japan and the world transitions their energy mix from fossil fuels to renewables and new fuels, the workforce is transitioning as well.
