Course Summary

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 GLOMACS 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.
