The Joint Labor Management Cooperation Committee of California
January 21, 2015
San Diego, California
Thank You For This Opportunity to Present
Introduction and Justification • The Opportunity: Position ELECTRI/NECA members at
forefront of major new and rapidly expanding Energy
Storage and Micro-grids (ESM) sector.
• Accomplish through market differentiation by educating,
training and certifying electrical contractors, staff, &
electricians in best and most effective techniques to install,
commission, maintain, repair and retrofit ESMs
• ESM industry will grow rapidly;
revenue from 2015-2022
projected to be $30 – 40 billion
• Across the Country …
Character & Timing
• Current state of the ESM industry offers a
special and rare opportunity to set a high bar in
standards, training and certification
• Tremendous excitement in the ESM industry
over tech breakthroughs and accelerating
revenue: also great trepidation about image and
reputation.
• Last twenty years the ES industry has suffered
significantly from bad press primarily revolving
around the safety of batteries.

Public Perception of Energy Storage
In October 2007, Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. halted
production of lithium-ion battery cells at their Osaka, Japan
production facilities due to a fire which destroyed a
significant part of Matsushita’s Moriguchi City plant.

which damaged one of the company’s rechargeable
battery plants south of Seoul, South Korea. Damages were
about $85 million with production capacity halted for more
than two months. https://www.frost.com/sublib/display-market-insight.do?id=123729013

Goals & Objectives

For the ESM Industry, Avoid the Public Relations
Valley of Death
ESM Industry Needs & Wants
Contractors They Can Trust
• Trust is a critical factor needed for ESM
industry growth
• $Billions invested and at-risk
• Robust, highly respected training – and an
accompanying credential – will provide NECA
contractors with one more essential trust-building
tool that the ESM industry needs and wants.
The Time is Now
If the billions at-risk weren’t enough …
• The industry is young and the need for higher
standards has considerable support
• The new NEIS standards for energy storage,
on which the training will be based, are close
to completion
• No competing national ESM training and
certification entity has surfaced thus far
Arguments Against
• Wait for the jobs to train
• Certification is not “our” area of expertise
• BICSI and NABCEP
• Training non-electricians to do electrical work
• ESM is electrical work?
• Learning from Low Voltage and PV solar
• Early bird SME catches the worm, the utilities,
government agencies and customers
DoE Federal Plan
Who Will Be the Early Bird?
DoE News
Released December, 2014:
“Near-term goals of DOE’s Strategic Plan for
Energy Storage Safety include development of
codes, standards and regulations that enable the
deployment of safe energy storage systems.”

The “Product” • Requesting seed money of $85k. The ELECTRI product
has 2 components:
- complete 12-15% of training
- pay fund raiser to multiply the $85K by 6-7 times
via matching (to meet $500-600k total cost)
- Because its not complete, call it “initial product”
• ELECTRI “initial product” funded portion to be
completed within nine months of funding. No additional
requests.
• Completed curriculum and certification platform referred
to as “full product”. ELECTRI’s funding is a portion.
Training and Certification
• Comprehensive
• Rigorous
• Demanding exams for certification
• Third party administered
• Brand neutral, non profit
• Model: CALCTP www.CALCTP.org
21
Training Curriculum
• Base curriculum on NEIS standards
• And incorporate the NEC
• Blended learning
• Web based introductory prerequisites
• Lectures
• Hands-on training component

From: Todd Stafford <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 6:09 PM Subject: Micro Grid and Energy Storage Training To: Bernie Kotlier <[email protected]> Bernie, First of all my apologies for not getting this email to you sooner. I want to let you know the Electrical Training ALLIANCE does support a collaborative effort as a partner in the effort to create a National Strategic Initiative in Energy Storage and Micro-grid Infrastructure Technology to Benefit NECA Contractors. We will utilize the assets of the ALLIANCE to help develop and generate curriculum as it related to training our industry. I shall work closely with Terry Coleman on our staff to follow through with ways the ALLIANCE can assist in the efforts and Terry will be able to work closely with you and your efforts to help in any way we may be able to. I think the collaborative effort will be beneficial to our industry and the ALLIANCE looks forward to offering courses and related to training Journeymen and Instructors in this area. I feel that the efforts to generate this training and associated curriculum is necessary to help prepare NECA Contractors and IBEW Journeymen to work within this specialized area of the electrical construction industry. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may assist in any additional way. Todd W. Stafford Executive Director Electrical Training ALLIANCE

NEIS & NEC
Electrical Training Alliance
GridStar & Penn State
ESM Training & Certification
EC & ESM Industry
Input
NEIS & NEC
Grid Star & ESMTC Close collaboration and possible subcontracting with Penn State and GridSTAR will be particularly valuable. GridSTAR Center pursues three main value adding processes:
1. Research and demonstration test bed for smart grid technologies
2. Translation of research and demonstration lessons into university level courses and workforce development programs for first responders, and limited courses “about” ESM topics. They do have engineering courses on storage and smart grids, but they are not intended, nor comprehensive enough for workforce training settings
3. Enable business development to benefit electrical industry professional and manufacturers
Penn State/Gridstar does not have rigorous EC or electrician training programs on how to build and maintain ESM systems safely and efficiently, nor do they develop or offer hands-on craft worker training. Furthermore, Penn State/Gridstar is not involved in trade certification.
In Contrast
• In contrast to GridSTAR, this proposal is for seed funding
which would leverage the full development of a specific and
specialized technical workforce ESM training program that
does not exist.
• The full product would train contractors and electricians to
directly respond and support the needs of large battery
manufacturers, inverter manufactures, and integration firms
• They sell and finance energy storage and micro grid
projects, and need highly capable contractors to effectively
and safely install, commission, maintain, repair and retrofit
a wide range of Energy Storage devices and Micro-grids.
Work Plan
ELECTRI funded initial portion of the ESMTC completed within 9 months
• Month 1 (Feb, 2015): Hire curriculum development team
• Month 2 (Mar, 2015) Complete detailed nine month assignment schedule; begin creating the curriculum outline and synopsis.
• Month 3 (Apr, 2015): Meet with industry advisors and develop consensus for training and certification goals, continue creating curriculum outline, synopsis.
• Month 4 (May, 2015): Continue creating curriculum outline, synopsis. Begin curriculum sample sections
• Month 5 (Jun, 2015): Continue curriculum sample sections. Hire fundraiser
• Month 6 (Jul, 2015): Fundraising begins
• Month 7 (Aug, 2015): Fundraising continues. Wider industry input on training & certification
• Month 8 (Sep, 2015): Fundraising continues. Additional wider industry input
• Month 9 (Oct, 2015): Fundraising continues. Curriculum plan revised.
Product Information
Dissemination No initial ELECTRI product dissemination
When completed, the full training will be distributed to, and may be utilized by:
• NECA, for contractor education (no-fee license)
• Electrical Training Alliance distribution of training through the national JATC network
• Utility sponsor training centers and selected community colleges
• Universities if and when modified for engineering students
Benefit to the EC Industry
• Substantial benefits to ELECTRI and NECA members
• Simply greater market share
• Strong symbiotic relationship would develop between the
EC industry and the ESM industry through the ESMTC
• ESM industry wants and needs highly capable, safe and
expert contractors to mitigate risk
• trained and certified contractors will be the best risk
reduction insurance available.
• In return, distributors and manufacturers and certified
electrical contractors will all do substantially more
business.
