Renewables To Create 1.8 Million Jobs By 2030: POWERCON

India’s Renewable Energy (RE) sector is expected to generate more than 1.8 million new jobs as the country moves towards achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel electric power capacity by 2030. In a press release, Pune-based POWERCON said the growth of RE projects is driving strong demand for skilled professionals across the sector.

POWERCON’s Centre of Renewable Energy (CORE) Academy has launched seven specialised renewable energy courses at Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU). Through this collaboration, the academy aims to train and upskill 20,000 students by 2026, helping expand India’s green energy talent pool and address the acute skill gaps within the RE ecosystem.

CORE Academy focuses on creating a future-ready workforce in critical domains including wind energy, solar PV systems, energy storage, pumped hydro storage and electrical safety — all essential to India’s clean energy transition.

POWERCON added that the academy will offer Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma programmes in wind, solar and safety in RE at YCMOU, making specialised skilling opportunities accessible to a broader and more diverse set of learners. The programmes combine academic depth with hands-on industry exposure, aiming to prepare “RE Commandos” who are immediately employable and industry-ready.
