History

The Renewable Energy Technician was included as an extra in the "Renewable Energy Set", an educational DACTA building set focused on teaching children about solar, wind, and water as a source for power.

The inclusion of an "Ocatan" branded figure in these sets is interesting. The appearance of an employee of LEGO's in-universe gas company at a "renewable energy" plant seems a bit conspicuous. Are they there for some nefarious purpose? Sabotage? Corporate espionage? Or is the mega-polluter petroleum corporation turning towards a better form of energy production? Who knows. It does make an opportunity for some good speculation.

While information on this set is limited, the figure does not appear to have been featured in the print material. It is seen in one of the organizing trays along with the Renewable Energy Technician.

This Representative wears a blue cap, white long-sleeved Octan Company shirt, and blue trousers.

This figure was purchased through the BrickLink marketplace by The Collector in 2020.
