Power and Renewable Market Fundamentals
Recent policy decisions have increased investment in renewable energy technologies, creating new challenges and opportunities for the power systems and market players. The rise in wind and solar deployment in power systems, originally built for firm generation, creates potential complications and is forcing regulators and companies alike to adopt a multi-technology strategy. On the other hand, growing geopolitical fractures are reshaping cleantech supply chains and cost structures, making innovation a key enabler for the transformation. This comprehensive training course will examine:

  • — Industry Structure and Regulation
  •  Electricity supply and demand trends
  •  Clean power technologies
  •  Costs / Supply chains / Prices and revenue
  •  Outlooks

The shift to affordable, clean energy is rapidly changing power systems worldwide. Increasing shares of variable renewables are pushing regulators and companies alike to adopt a multi-technology strategy. At the same time, growing geopolitical fractures are reshaping cleantech supply chains and cost structures. In this dynamic setting, innovation remains key with existing technologies becoming cheaper and more performant, with innovations on the horizon that could potentially transform the cleantech landscape. This comprehensive training course will examine:

  • — Overview of clean power technologies
  •  Costs and supply chains
  •  Industry trends and disruptions
  •  Renewables and green tech outlooks
