Step Forward into The Future of Green Energy and Technology

NECA Chicago and IBEW Local 134 have put years into the design and development of a state-of-the-art facility, built with ﬂexibility required for growth, and an ability to adapt to emerging technology and changes in the industry. The Renewable Energy Training Field provides an ideal technology showcase for training IBEW local 134/ECA electricians, providing a hands-on experience that encompasses all aspects of Renewable Energy, from wind to solar, electric car charging, battery storage, and a variety of techniques for managing and exchanging power with the electrical utility grid.

The wide variety of the facility components come together to provide a full spectrum of education and training in a design that will easily adapt and evolve with the industry requirements. A plan that is ready for the future, ensures that NECA Chicago and IBEW Local 134 will stay at the leading edge.

“The investments that IN-Tech has made in the Renewable Energy Training Field and the consistent updating of new training equipment and systems ensures that apprentices and journeypersons of Local 134 are constantly being trained on the most up-to-date equipment and methods being used in the industry today. The training provided at IN-Tech develops the most qualified individuals, who work for ECA and signatory contractors, to install every aspect of solar installation, whether it be a multi-megawatt generation install, a flat roof install on a commercial mega-store or a small residential rooftop. When you hire an ECA or signatory contractor for a solar project you can trust they can be your sole contractor needed to complete the entire job.”
