The first training center on renewable energy in Buzau, which offers 100 free training places in the field, opened on Wednesday, a release informs.
"RenewAcad, the largest network of renewable energy training centers in South-Eastern Europe, together with Rezolv Energy opened today a new training center in Buzau County, intended to training specialists for the renewable energy industry. The event also marks the launch of the first groups of trainees within the Rezolv Energy Skills Academy program, through which Rezolv Energy offers 100 free training places for residents of the region," the release states, agerpres reports.
The new center works as a local skills hub for the green economy, where participants are prepared for jobs in the wind and photovoltaic sectors by combining practical training with theoretical modules.
RenewAcad provides the training infrastructure and certified instructors, while Rezolv Energy finances the free places through the Rezolv Energy Skills Academy program, part of the Rezolv Energy Shift impact platform, which aims to make the energy transition more equitable and inclusive for communities in Romania.
"For us, the energy transition means not only investments in wind and solar parks, but also direct investments in people. Through the free places we offer within the RenewAcad center in Buzau, we want people from the host communities of our projects to have real access to the jobs of the future, at international standards, and to be able to work long-term in clean energy projects, including in the VIFOR wind park area and in other investments we are preparing in Romania," said Marian Pavel, Country Manager Rezolv Romania, as cited in the release.
The goal of the initiative is that, by the end of the year, at least 100 Buzau County residents to complete both the internationally accredited Global Wind Organisation (GWO) courses and the national courses accredited by the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity, thus preparing for a long-term career in renewable energy.
"Between October 1 and November 13, 2025, 121 applicants had already registered on the dedicated platform, exceeding the target by 21%, and starting with November 5, the first training groups in the solar and wind fields began. Half of the trainees come from the host communities of the VIFOR Project," specifies the cited source.
The first programs run at the RenewAcad Buzau center include the GWO Basic Safety Training modules for the wind industry, already completed between November 11-14, as well as the "Installer for photovoltaic systems" course, held between November 4 and December 4, 2025, company representatives said.
The students come from all over Buzau county and cover all age groups - from young people aged 18-20 to people over 50 - as well as different levels of education, from qualification certificates to higher education.
"Our aim was for the training center to be organized within an educational institution and we also set up outdoor training areas, where participants train under conditions as close as possible to the reality of wind and solar parks: dedicated equipment, operational scenarios and an approach oriented towards practical activities. Our goal is for each trainee to be prepared to enter a construction site safely and to meet the requirements of employers," said Sebastian Enache, director of RenewAcad.
RenewAcad is the largest network of renewable energy training centers in Romania. With over six local centers (Bucharest, Buzau, Constanta, Petrila, Rovinari and Arad), it offers accredited and authorized courses in the wind and solar fields, professional training services, recruitment and social integration in the green economy.
