Developed with leading clean energy companies, the certification program creates a consistent, industry-recognized way to validate technician skills, strengthen safety and operational excellence, and support clearer career pathways for workers. The program is administered through ACP’s newly established Institute for Safety, Workforce, and Operational Performance.
“Clean energy runs on the people who build and maintain it. Our new program gives those workers a credential that travels with them and gives employers confidence in the workforce they are building. GE Vernova, MasTec, and LRE are leading the way, and we look forward to welcoming many more companies to this program,” said Scott Garten, Senior Vice President at ACP’s Institute for Safety, Workforce, and Operational Performance.
“Certifications like ACP’s help close the gap between technical training centers and real-world field capabilities,” said Shanon Lutomski, Wind Services Executive, GE Vernova. “As the wind industry scales, standardization is key to limiting risk for the growing number of field technicians that keep our wind turbines online and energizing communities in the U.S. and worldwide.”
“Industry jobs are expected to double by 2030, making talent development an important priority. LRE is proud to be involved with ACP’s certification program because a well-trained workforce benefits the entire ecosystem. By establishing consistent standards for competency and safety, we’re helping create opportunities for American workers while strengthening performance across employers, job sites, and the communities we serve,” said Wilem van der Ven, Chief Operating Officer at LRE.
“American Clean Power’s certification program provides a strong foundation for our technicians, equipping them with the training and evaluation needed to enter the renewable energy industry as qualified craft professionals,” said Craig Moseng, Senior Director of Operations, Services at MasTec Clean Energy & Infrastructure.
