America’s goal of expanding alternative energy sources ultimately includes an expanding role for electricity. But as the nation strives to reduce its carbon footprint and lessen its dependence on fossil fuels, there arises the need for a workforce capable of bringing about the vision of a renewable future.
Powering America’s professional team of IBEW craftsmen and their signatory contractors—including those who are members of the National Electrical Contractors Association—has the workforce with the training, expertise, and certifications to help you deliver any solar, wind, or other clean energy project safely, on time, and to the right specifications.
For three decades and more, the Powering America team has been out front in the energy revolution. Powering America has been instrumental in developing the “Smart Grid” – making the use of new and alternative energy sources possible. Powering America’s clean energy training is leading-edge.
The Powering America team can help design highly efficient, even “Zero Net”, construction projects or perform energy audits and retrofits for existing buildings. Our expertise helps ensure that the right electrical systems are installed, so that customers can lower their energy costs and quickly recover their investments.
That’s where the Powering America team comes in. This team has invested millions in training programs uniquely positioned to provide the skilled workers the nation demands to push the latest clean energy technologies forward through its electrical training ALLIANCE. 
With 300 training centers across America, electrical training ALLIANCE offers apprentices and journeymen a range of rigorous, precision training that puts them at the forefront of clean energy projects.
In California, IBEW Local 595 put its clean energy skills on display in a radical redesign of its own training center, combining wind turbines with solar panels to create a building that produces as much energy as it consumes – making it one of only a handful of United States Department of Energy-designated “zero net energy buildings” in the country and one of the first achieved by retrofitting an existing commercial building.
On a visit to our Denver JATC training facility, Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado said, “This system that [Powering America has] put into place is what we’ve got to do across the nation – no ifs, ands or buts. It’s very simple: it’s good for national security, it’s good for jobs and it’s good for the climate.”
