Training Overview

Training Overview

The global transition to a sustainable energy future is already underway. Renewable energy is growing at a rapid pace, information technologies are transforming electricity trading and management, and competitive electricity markets are driving significant shifts in energy generation options. These fast-moving changes present numerous opportunities for individuals and companies that understand the factors behind these transformations, anticipate the future of energy markets, and create innovative solutions to meet energy needs. Conversely, those who fail to adapt will fall behind.

To succeed in this fast-changing landscape, a deep understanding of energy fundamentals, technologies, and markets is essential, along with the ability to leverage this knowledge to identify new business opportunities. This Renewable Energy and Sustainability training course will equip you with both the foundational knowledge and the crucial skills needed. Upon completion, you will gain insights into “why” the energy system is changing, “where” it is heading, “what” this means for your career and organization, and “how” to effectively navigate the ongoing shift to a sustainable energy future.

This training course will feature:

  • The concept of sustainability and increase awareness of the different sustainability indicators
  • The challenges imposed by climate change and natural resource reserves
  • The concept of energy, energy conversion, and energy efficiency
  • A range of renewable energy technologies and develop an understanding of how these technologies can be used to improve the sustainability of electrical power systems
  • Challenges involved in balancing between energy security (ability to meet demand), energy equity (affordability) and environmental sustainability in the design of an energy infrastructure for a community

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:  

  • Understand the factors driving changes in the energy Sources and their implications for you and your organization
  • Analyze renewable energy sources, energy efficiency measures, and electrification methods using quantitative metrics
  • Explain how advancements in information technology are reshaping the electricity sector
  • Analyze how strategies like auctions and energy targets can be utilized effectively
  • Assess and interpret emerging trends and forecasts to gain insights into the future of the energy sector
  • Predict potential opportunities in the energy market and understand how to capitalize on them

Who is this Training Course for?

This Renewable Energy and Sustainability training course is targeted at professionals new to the energy industry, and those in both modern and traditional energy firms needing to better understand and respond to the rapid changes in the energy industry.

This Renewable Energy and Sustainability training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Those new to the energy industry, seeking a thorough understanding of renewable energy and sustainability
  • Those in traditional energy firms, need to understand better what the energy transition means for their firm
  • Those in the renewable and sustainable energy field, seeking market and technology intelligence on the latest happenings in the field
  • Government and public sector professionals with responsibilities related to renewable and sustainable energy
  • Advocates and civil society members, in pursuit of knowledge they can use to build a sustainable energy system for the future generation

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This Renewable Energy and Sustainability training course will utilise a variety of proven learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented. This includes a thoughtful combination of lectures, structured discussion, roleplay, case studies, and exercises. The participants will have opportunities to assess the ongoing energy transition means for their firms, analyze implications of new technologies, and conceive imaginative solutions to energy business challenges.
