Renewable Energy Essentials Training Course

Introduction

The global transition to a sustainable energy future has begun. Renewable energy is fast growing at an astonishing pace, information technologies are revolutionizing electricity trade and management, and competitive electricity markets are driving unprecedented change in electricity generation choice.  These rapid changes create countless opportunities for those firms and individuals that understand how and why these changes are happening, anticipate where energy markets are headed, and innovate new solutions and approaches that meet energy-related needs. Conversely, the transition will leave behind those that fail to keep up. Succeeding in this rapidly changing world requires a solid knowledge base in energy fundamentals, energy technologies, and energy markets; and the skills to use this knowledge to assess new business opportunities. This training course provides both that essential knowledge and those critical skills. After completing this training course, you will understand “why” the energy system is changing, “where” it is headed, “what” it means for your career and your firm, and “how” to successfully navigate the ongoing transition to a sustainable energy future. 

Objectives

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

    • Assess why the energy system is changing, and what it means for you and your organization
    • Quantitatively evaluate sustainable energy options including renewables, energy efficiency, and electrification
    • Explain how information technologies are transforming the electricity system
    • Analyze how policies such as auctions and energy targets can be leveraged for success
