Renewable Energy Services in Education and Training – RESET project kicks off in 2023
A regional project Decarbonisation of the Electricity Sector in the Western Balkans commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) started in the second half of 2023 with the main goal to answer to the increasing demand made by key actors in the electricity sector in the Western Balkans for technological, regulatory and human resources solutions for the implementation of an environmentally and climate friendly energy transition. The project is being implemented in six WB economies (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo*, North Macedonia, Serbia) in the period between 2022 – 2025 by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – GIZ.
The project foresees the threefold action related to (1) renewable energy grid integration, (2) renewable energy regulatory framework, and (3) promoting technical and vocational education and training (TVET) for renewable energy services.
The ERI SEE will be coordinating the implementation of the third project’s component within the Renewable Energy Services in Education and Training (RESET) project in the period 2023-2025. The RESET’s overall goal at promoting TVET for renewable energy services will be articulated through two actions (1) recommendations to TVET decision makers to accelerate the Labour market and energy developments for RE and (2) raising awareness and promoting TVET/education for renewable energy services.
