The self-employment landscape in the Electricity, Gas, Steam, and Air Conditioning Supply sector demonstrates significant regional disparities. In 2024, the United Kingdom leads with 9.0 thousand self-employed persons, followed by Greece and the Czech Republic at 7.0 thousand each. Notably, the Czech Republic experienced the highest growth rate at 11.84% in 2023, whereas most other countries, including Greece and Colombia, saw no change. The United Kingdom had a modest increase of 2.38%. Countries like Poland, Italy, and France maintain smaller self-employed populations of around 2.0 thousand persons, showing no evident year-on-year growth.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The potential for digital transformation to lower barriers to entry for self-employment in this sector, particularly through new green technologies.
- Government policies focused on energy transition that could impact self-employment dynamics, notably favoring countries with supportive legislation for renewable energy projects.
- Economic conditions that could spur or dampen self-employed numbers, particularly in emerging markets looking to expand their energy infrastructure.
