Investors will have the knowledge base to de-risk their renewable energy investments and realize higher returns with a better understanding of debt/equity ratios, credit enhancement, and end-user creditworthiness assessments.

This ETC training course will help the participants from public and private sectors to better understand, design, and implement strategies to decarbonize energy economies based on cost-effective, local renewable energy solutions. These strategies are vital tools against the very real threat of climate change faced by this and future generations of our species - and conveniently, renewable energy can often save end-users money if done correctly. For example, solar energy is now cheaper than conventional energy from the power grid in many cases.  With energy storage, this renewable energy source can be as reliable as grid-supplied power as well.

It will have a solid grasp on how the use of renewable energy can be integrated into the conventional energy paradigm to make a positive impact on the environment and society. 

The participants will benefit from a deeper understanding of global energy trends; knowing why carbon release into the environment is causing an “intergenerational inequity” on future generations; understanding ways to decarbonize economies; being able to assess, develop, and finance renewable energy projects on technical, economic environment bases; creating an conducive environment to scaling up renewable energy; and being able to make informed decisions by leveraging data from the world’s best information sources.

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

  • Draw a line between the generation and use of conventional energy and climate change impacts
  • Better understand the roles of Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation (REDD), and Carbon Capture and sequestration in decarbonizing economies
  • Conduct basic renewable energy project assessment and development
  • Understand how renewable energy policies, regulations, and procurement paradigms can enable low-carbon energy strategies
  • Analyze which financing approach may best meet their set of goals on a situational basis
  • Access the world’s best set of data to expand the knowledge of climate change and energy

The participants in this training course will receive thorough training on the subject, utilizing a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques, including a brief assessment of participant names, roles, and interests. It also contains charts, illustrations, pictures, and embedded website hyperlinks, videos, case studies, practical problem-solving sessions, and interactive discussions. The PowerPoint will be engaging and esthetically appealing with a focus on information graphics.

The organization will benefit from sending the employees to attend this training course as they will be able to contextualize the role within the broader energy and climate change realm defined by global organizations who have dedicated significant time, energy and resources to developing and implementing successful strategies.

The organization can leverage knowledge and skillsets, such as:

  • Assessing the carbon content of conventional and alternative energy resources
  • Knowing how energy generation technologies convert resources into electricity, heat, cooling, or other energy products
  • Understanding how high-carbon resources add to climate change and cause intergenerational inequities
  • Being able to assess, develop, finance, and integrate renewable energy systems
  • Knowing which business model would best meet their organizations’ capacities, institutional knowledge, and risk appetite for investing in renewable energy systems
  • Drawing on existing policies, regulations, legislation, and support mechanisms to create an enabling environment for low-carbon energy
  • Accessing some of the world's best information further to advance their understanding of climate change and energy and thus make better-informed decisions—for their organization, families, communities, country, and world

The participants will be able to leverage their gained knowledge and skillset to become a leader in their organization and advance their career based on ethical and practical value-added.

The participants will personally benefit from this training course because it will empower them to:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of the technical, economic, the marketplace, policy, regulatory, environmental, and social concepts related to climate change and energy
  • Lead resource management and long-term energy planning initiatives that enable the responsible use of resources through low-carbon planning and portfolio diversification
  • Assess the use of renewable energy to “reduce the footprint” of their homes and businesses
  • Various renewable energy business models that best leverage existing resources and risk appetites.
  • Understand how renewable energy can be developed and integrated into the conventional energy paradigm to create a positive effect on the environment and society

This ETC training course is ideal for those who work in the energy sector, particularly those in finance, accounting, and performance measurement roles.
