Course Description
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 BTS training course will help the participants from public and private sectors to better understand, design, and implement strategies to de-carbonize 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.

Training Objective
The participants will benefit from a deeper understanding of global energy trends; knowing why carbon release into the environment is causing an “inter generational inequity” on future generations; understanding ways to de-carbonize 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 BTS 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 de-carbonizing 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
Target Audience
This BTS training course is ideal for those who work in the energy sector, particularly those in finance, accounting, and performance measurement roles.
This BTS training course is suitable for a wide range of energy and climate change professionals from public, private, and association sectors, but will greatly benefit:
