Guidelines for Entry-Level BESS Technician Training

Building, operating, and maintaining any power generation project requires a high level of electrical safety awareness, training, technical skills, knowledge, and the personal discipline to always act in a safe manner.

To address these issues in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), guidelines have been prepared in cooperation among the members of American Clean Power Association (ACP).

The Entry-Level BESS Technician Guidelines will establish a transparent and valid set of standardized skills for entry level technician roles in operations and maintenance for BESS facilities. These guidelines will help:

• Alleviate the continued pressure on costs and resources
• Reduce bottlenecks in training
• Provide a stable, competent entry level workforce
• Reduce recruitment constraints by knowledgeable entry level O&M technicians ready for company qualifications and experience
• Decrease training duplication
• Reduce the pressure on recruitment and training
