As California strives to reach its goal of 100 percent greenhouse gas-free electricity by 2045, energy markets are increasingly using renewable energy, which in turn drives up demand for energy storage and microgrid systems. To keep up with this demand, the State’s electrical workforce must have advanced, specialized training to handle a new generation of technology. This training and certification program was developed out of recognition of this need, and the expansion of ESAMTAC is a collaboration between the California and Nevada International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers/National Electrical Contractors Association Labor Management Cooperation Trust, ICF International, EESAMTAC, and ProtoGen Energy.
