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

Questions concerning these guidelines should be directed to workforcedev@cleanpower.org.
