One of the common themes I’ve heard about our transition to #cleanenergy is that the industry needs to develop a workforce to move into these #greenjobs. Solar Landscape is doing just that! Not only are we the leader in developing #communitysolar projects but we’re leaders in our communities by opening up pathways to employment for people who will build our future energy infrastructure. Come learn more from our own Sarah Pidgeon.

Many of you already know about DOE's Communities LEAP program, but I want to make sure everyone knows that the program will be launching its second cohort later this year! Earlier this week, we released guidance for coalitions in eligible communities to apply for more than $18 million worth of technical assistance to facilitate community-wide economic empowerment through clean energy, improve local conditions, and open the way for other benefits primarily through DOE’s clean energy deployment work. Applications close on December 14. Communities LEAP helps to ensure that the #CleanEnergy transition benefits all communities, especially those that are low-income, energy-burdened, and are experiencing either direct environmental justice impacts, or direct economic impacts as we collectively shift away from our reliance on fossil fuels. DOE matches selected communities with technical assistance providers who assist them with bringing their clean energy planning and economic development vision to life. This effort involves many groups from across the @Department of Energy, including @DOE State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP), @Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), U.S. Department of Energy, @DOE Grid Deployment Office, @Fossil Energy and Carbon Management and many others—I encourage you to learn more about the program here: https://lnkd.in/eZA7G6a4 To see what the awards from this program can do, check out this recap of our work to help Louisville, KY accelerate its #CleanEnergyTransition, and do so equitably: https://lnkd.in/gjwPQGrE

Grateful for these midwest #cleanenergyjobs. And they are in under-served areas. That's key for #workforcedevelopment and to meeting our environmental goals. Here's what's working in Chicago: • Local training programs are gearing up to equip residents with skills for solar installation, energy efficiency, and electric vehicle maintenance roles. • Community organizations are partnering with clean tech companies to ensure job placement and career advancement for local talent. • Green infrastructure projects are creating construction and maintenance positions while improving neighborhood sustainability. What other ideas do you have for fostering clean energy careers in underserved areas? #greenjobs #greenskills #solar #chicago #climateworks ClimateWorks Foundation 548 FOUNDATION https://lnkd.in/gYS3jwHA

**Milestone Alert!** Governor Kathy Hochul announced that a record 171,000 individuals are now employed in clean energy jobs in New York State, outpacing overall job growth statewide. This not only reflects the growth in the clean energy sector but also showcases the quality career opportunities emerging as New York accelerates efforts to achieve climate goals. The 2023 Clean Energy Industry Report by NYSERDA shows 3.5% growth from 2021 to 2022, outpacing statewide economic growth at 3%. This adds nearly 30,000 jobs since 2015, when NYSERDA first began tracking clean energy jobs. NYSERDA continues to invest, with over $170 million dedicated to workforce development and training initiatives. Plus, providing support for a new documentary series, “Empowered State.” Created by Roadtrip Nation, the series highlights New York State’s clean energy innovation and green job opportunities.

One of the things people always ask about clean energy is: how do I get in? There are a wide variety of positions available in clean energy, but this week is #NationalSkillsWeek and we’re focusing on Vocational Education Training positions. Ever thought about being a solar panel installer and wondered what pathways are available to you? The team at Education Services Australia (ESA) has created the wonderful infographic below, which is based on real career paths people have taken to become solar panel installers. There definitely isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, but the opportunities and pathways are there, and will only grow with the sector. To check out more of the ESA’s pathways infographics for other industries, click below: https://lnkd.in/ghhqGRsv For more on jobs in clean energy, check out our Clean Energy Careers Guide: https://lnkd.in/g2eeiEVY #cleanenergy

The move toward climate-friendly jobs has been in the works for years, as E2’s data shows. Simple economics have been pushing things in that direction, driven mostly by the falling costs of solar, wind and batteries, and the labor market has been responding. #climatetech #climatejobs #climateeconomy https://lnkd.in/gwHW5tNg

Leading Community-scale Climate Change Action | I help communities, organizations, and people move beyond climate action commitments to achieve climate action results.
Tuesday’s Community Energy Innovation Summit (https://lnkd.in/e8kwUWzW), hosted by the Clean Energy Business Network (CEBN), amplified the important role of collaboration and partnership in the work to support an equitable clean energy transition. The showcase of the US Department of Energy Community Energy Innovation Prize’s Collegiate Track winners - Georgia Tech Zero Energy Collaborations (Atlanta, GA), Greener CASA (Tyler, TX), GreenSynergy (Houston, TX) - offered creative ways to amplify community energy transition opportunities with community participation and equity at the center of program design and implementation. The federal agency panel moderated by Sandoli Robert of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Integrated Strategies Office, and featuring the DOE’s Office of Policy, Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office, Office of Energy Justice and Equity, and State and Community Energy Programs, and the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund programs offered perspectives and opportunities reflecting the massive federal investment in community and economy-wide climate action and equitable energy transition through the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. While a wide-ranging discussion, of particular importance to note for our local community climate action and sustainability work: ⚡ Not only are federal investments an investment in climate action and energy transition, but more importantly, they are foundational to producing equitable outcomes in our communities. ⚡ Opportunities enabled through changes to US tax credit policy, including enabling direct pay opportunities for non-profit organizations (including local governments) historically excluded from tax-based clean energy investment incentives is a tremendous opportunity, especially when combined (or stacked) for many clean energy technologies. ⚡ The DOE’s Office of Community Engagement - powered by the State and Community Energy Program - is an amazing “Navigator” resource to take advantage of the breadth of offices and programs the DOE offers. ⚡ The value of forming community and public-private partnerships early, before funding opportunities become available, is critical to effectively pursuing funding opportunities. The value of such partnership and collaboration extends to support small, clean energy technology and service businesses for expanding their ability to leverage their experience, innovation, and drive to amplify the climate action and energy transition work in our communities. #energytransition #communityenergy #climateaction #innovation #cleanenergy #communityengagement
