MUMBAI: With electric vehicles and solar rooftops witnessing growth in Mumbai over the past year, power utility firms like Tata Power and Adani Electricity are ensuring that there is adequate skilled manpower to maintain the infrastructure for renewable energy.
The Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) at Shahad near Kalyan has begun new courses to impart training in solar photovoltaic for electric vehicle-charging, installation and maintenance of rooftop solar photovoltaic apart from having a simulator training for wind-energy. TOI has learnt that of those being trained lately, 16% were women.
