IRVINE, CA — September 16, 2025 — EON Reality, the global leader in Artificial Intelligence-powered augmented and virtual reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, is proud to announce the launch of its Energy Workforce Training segment within XR Library Premium, the world’s most comprehensive skills-to-jobs platform powered by Spatial AI. This initiative directly addresses the urgent need for a skilled workforce to support the clean energy transition — from wind and solar to advanced storage and grid modernization. To showcase the scope of this initiative, the following EON XR Library Premium Energy List highlights the comprehensive set of training programs included within the Energy Workforce Training segment.
Why Energy?
The energy sector is undergoing the largest transformation in a century. As nations pursue decarbonization and energy independence, demand for technicians and operators is skyrocketing. Yet, the industry faces a global workforce crisis: tens of thousands of jobs are unfilled, onboarding takes too long, and safety incidents remain high due to insufficient training.
Conventional training — manuals, classroom theory, and limited labs — cannot scale or simulate the high-risk, high-cost realities of modern energy systems. Workers must be prepared for arc flashes, confined spaces, substation switching, and grid-level emergencies before they encounter them on the job.
What XR Library Premium Delivers
XR Library Premium transforms training by providing immersive, job-ready experiences across four core groups, each mapped to the real skills demanded by employers:
Group A — High-Risk Safety (Priority 1)
Energy sites are among the most dangerous workplaces. XR Library Premium delivers lifelike safety drills where mistakes are safe, but lessons are unforgettable.
- Arc Flash Response & NFPA 70E Practical: Learners enter a simulated substation, assess hazard boundaries, apply PPE, and rehearse emergency protocols.
- Working at Height: Tower Climb, Rescue & Fall Protection: Technicians practice ascending a 300-foot turbine tower, inspecting harnesses, anchoring properly, and performing a rescue.
- Confined Space Entry & Atmospheric Monitoring: Crews rehearse gas testing, communication protocols, and rescue planning in virtual tanks and enclosures.
Use Case: A new wind technician can repeat a tower climb and rescue drill 50 times virtually, mastering the muscle memory and decision-making without ever being at risk.
Group B — Equipment Operation & Maintenance (Priority 1)
Energy infrastructure involves multi-million-dollar assets that cannot be easily taken offline for training. XR enables practice on digital twins of real equipment.
- Wind Turbine Gearbox Service & Vibration Analysis: Learners virtually open a nacelle, inspect a gearbox, diagnose vibration signatures, and apply corrective actions.
- Substation Switching, Protection & Transformer Maintenance: Technicians execute safe switching sequences, coordinate relays, and rehearse maintenance on high-voltage transformers.
- Hazardous Materials Handling for Energy Sites: Crews learn safe handling of battery electrolytes, solvents, and oils in a controlled digital environment.
Use Case: Instead of waiting months for supervised access to live equipment, a technician can practice substation switching in XR until flawless execution is achieved.
Group C — Regulatory & Certification (Priority 2)
Regulatory compliance is non-negotiable in energy. XR Library Premium integrates global safety standards into every simulation, accelerating certifications.
- OSHA Electrical & Construction Safety for Renewables: Immersive training aligned with OSHA regulations ensures standardized competency.
- GWO Core Safety for Wind (Onshore/Offshore): Baseline industry certifications for wind technicians delivered in XR, reducing training cost and duration.
- IEEE/Utility Interconnection for Distributed Resources: Courses teach grid tie-in and commissioning compliance for distributed renewable energy systems.
Use Case: A trainee can complete OSHA/GWO-aligned XR modules before entering a training center, cutting in-person certification time by 40–50%.
Group D — Advanced Technical Skills (Priority 2)
As the energy grid modernizes, advanced technical competencies are vital. XR allows workers to engage with complex systems before real-world deployment.
- Battery Energy Storage: Thermal Management & Runaway Response: Practice identifying early warning signs and executing emergency shutdowns during lithium-ion incidents.
- Microgrid Operations: Islanding, Protection & Economic Dispatch: Operators simulate managing distributed resources, black start procedures, and resilience strategies.
- Predictive Maintenance with I-V Curve & Thermal Imaging Diagnostics: XR tools teach how to interpret sensor data and thermal scans to prevent costly failures.
Use Case: An energy storage operator can simulate a lithium-ion runaway scenario in XR — a scenario too dangerous to replicate physically — and learn how to prevent escalation.
How XR Library Premium Transforms Training
By combining Spatial AI, digital twins, and immersive XR, EON Reality delivers a measurable transformation in workforce readiness:
| Before XR Library Premium | After XR Library Premium |
|---|---|
| Training fragmented, mostly theoretical | Cohesive, job-aligned XR modules validated by employers |
| Onboarding workers takes 6–12 months | Readiness accelerated to weeks with hands-on XR practice |
| Safety drills limited and unsafe to repeat | Unlimited repetition of high-risk scenarios without danger |
| Certifications costly and inconsistent | XR modules embed OSHA, GWO, NFPA, IEEE standards directly |
| Workers lack exposure to advanced tech | XR prepares technicians for microgrids, storage, and AI-driven systems |
Setting a New Standard for Energy Workforce Development
XR Library Premium bridges the clean energy skills gap by linking learning → hands-on skills → certifications → jobs → income. For governments, utilities, and clean energy companies, this platform ensures a job-ready, safer, and faster-trained workforce — accelerating the global clean energy transition.
“The clean energy revolution cannot wait. With XR Library Premium, we are giving the industry the fastest and safest way to prepare the technicians who will power the world’s future,” said Dan Lejerskar, CEO of EON Reality.
