Clean Energy Employment Impacts
Wind (land-based), solar (photovoltaics), and energy efficiency (buildings) are three key clean energy technologies identified in the NREL State-Level Employment Projections for Four Clean Energy Technologies in 2025 and 2030 report with continued growth potential. This document outlines how communities and regions will experience differing levels of employment impacts due to resource, labor market, and geographic factors.

Estimating the Value of Worker Training: A System Reliability & LCOE Perspective
This workshop presentation briefly describes the labor standards required for large photovoltaic (PV) systems (>1MWac) to receive the full investment tax credit from the Inflation Reduction Act. The potential for labor standards to affect aspects other than upfront installation costs (such as energy generation or maintenance expenses) is analyzed using levelized cost of energy (LCOE) calculations. This considers benefits which may come from better training for workers, more productive workers, or improved installation quality, using NREL's simplified PV-specific LCOE calculator at pvlcoe.nrel.gov.

Transforming Buildings Around the World
Buildings are where we live, work, go to school, gather as a community, and so much more. Globally, buildings are responsible for 30% of energy consumption and 26% of energy-related emissions. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is committed to adapting tools and capabilities to support emerging economies and improve the energy efficiency and flexibility of their buildings.

Work With Us to Advance Cybersecurity for the Current and Future Grid
The energy sector is undergoing rapid change. Advanced technologies and controls, digitally connected devices, and a mix of generation sources offer increased energy reliability and security, reduced energy costs, and enhanced grid operations. But they can also carry physical and cybersecurity risks that are not yet fully understood. With deep expertise in advanced energy technologies, the National Laboratory of the Rockies is examining the cybersecurity implications of evolving systems and developing cutting-edge tools, novel approaches, and innovative research capabilities to address sector-wide challenges. Together with our partners, we are working to achieve a more secure, defensible, and reliable grid.
