Training Course in Financing and Economics of Renewable Energy Projects (Online / Remote)
1Summary
By 2050 global electricity demand is set to more than double, and roughly three-quarters of the 12,000 GW of new generation capacity needed will come from renewable sources — a shift that has already pulled around $1.5 trillion in investment past the fossil fuel sector over the last decade. Arab British Fellowship Training Academy designed this training course around that reality: solar, wind and hydroelectric power are now the most cost-effective options in most markets, and batteries, hydrogen and new financing structures are opening the door to business models that did not exist a few years ago.
Delivered by a team of internationally experienced energy engineers, the course focuses on understanding the specific economics behind different renewable technologies and structuring the financing that turns a project into a bankable business case.
