New Energy Academy (NEA) was founded in collaboration with NewEnergyNexus, OpenSolar and GSES as a response to the rapidly growing solar industry. NEA is a platform designed to accelerate the training and certification of Renewable Energy (RE) professionals and entrepreneurs across the globe. We are currently conducting a pilot in the Philippines given their untapped potential which estimates renewable energy capacity of 15GW by the year 2030. Given the rapid growth and ever shifting landscape in the Philippines, the academy is focusing on providing individuals, which includes professionals in the power sector, technical professionals, electricians, contractors, engineers, and entrepreneurs, with international-standards training and resources to transition to the solar industry.
