THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The State Fire Marshal’s Office established a Clean Energy Research and Training Section in July 2025 to study emerging clean energy technologies (solar, BESS, EVs, wind, SMRs) and deliver training to public safety disciplines statewide. The report notes that over 1,700 responders and local officials have already been trained and that this is a two‑year project scheduled to conclude on June 30, 2027, unless the Legislature extends it, with the program aiming to justify continuation.
This signals a growing, ongoing need for specialized curriculum, exercises, and possibly simulation tools around clean‑energy incident response and code compliance. Training vendors, e‑learning providers, and clean‑energy safety experts can engage the State Fire Marshal’s Office before the 2027 decision point to support content development, delivery platforms, or evaluation tools that help demonstrate impact and make a case for longer‑term funding.
Program scope includes research plus training for all public safety disciplines and local officials on emerging clean‑energy technologies and related codes.
