As one of North America’s largest energy infrastructure companies and the world's largest owner and operator of renewable energy projects —the Renewable Training Center provides training aligned with the same high standards, technologies, and operational excellence that lead the global industry.
Unmatched Hands-On Experience
Students train on industry-grade equipment, 42 pieces of wind tech including nacelles, hubs, gearboxes, converters, hydraulics, and rescue towers. Solar labs feature inverter types, tracking systems, an artificial sun, and a battery rack simulator. A high-voltage environment with breakers, transformers, and relay panels builds confidence in safe, realistic scenarios.
Proven Impact on Site Performance
Training provided by NextEra Energy Resources stands out for measurable impact. NextEra Energy Resources renewable project sites report improved performance after teams attend, with gains in technician competence, fewer repeat maintenance issues, stronger safety, and more efficient troubleshooting. These results reflect the depth of hands-on practice, structured curriculum, and real-equipment experience at the RTC.
State of the Art Training Technology
The RTC is home to an industry-first indoor solar training simulator, providing year-round access to solar PV training regardless of weather. Students gain hands-on experience in system architecture, troubleshooting, safety practices, and performance assessment in a controlled, realistic environment.

Great instructor!
Charlie is great at uplifting students, commending them when they do something right and providing
constructive criticism when we struggle. Great at explaining and had amazing tips.
Phillip Ordonez
Associate Engineer
Caleb was great at clarifying arc flash hazards.
Scott is a great instructor, I learned more in one day with him than in the previous 6 weeks combined.
Wish I could spend some more time learning from Scott. Great course. I particularly appreciated the thorough review of the one-line diagrams, which I feel could be useful earlier in training.
Zachary Lindemann
Engineer
I didn't really understand toolbox. I had only opened two times before coming to this class.
I now feel that toolbox is a resource I can use at the site to make my life easier.
Ryan is a very understanding and passionate teacher who can teach students with all kinds of capabilities.
He made class enjoyable. I appreciate all the effort he puts into us.
