Reading, Pennsylvania is poised to save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on energy costs with new solar installations. This project leverages an energy savings performance contract (ESPC), which Reading found guidance on through a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) peer-learning cohort. Reading’s Sustainability Manager Bethany Ayers-Fisher, said, “At the beginning of the cohort, the ESPC felt like a pipe dream. And now we see, yes, we can do this.” This year, Reading will begin construction on a 1.78-MW rooftop and parking-lot solar installation, marking a significant step toward its goal of achieving 100% renewable energy.

Offshore Wind Energy Occupational Maps: We Need Your Feedback! NREL, in partnership with Julius, is developing Offshore Wind Energy Occupational Maps to align job titles with the Standardized Occupational Classification (SOC) system. These maps aim to provide detailed job descriptions, education levels, certifications, and required skills for various roles in the offshore wind industry. Your input is vital to ensuring these resources meet the needs of the wind industry. Before publishing the final version, we are opening the #windenergy occupational maps for input until Oct. 31, 2024. Follow the instructions on the webpage to learn more about how your offshore wind industry knowledge can influence the future wind workforce! https://lnkd.in/gvs92SDK
