The energy industry has been around for many years and has remained relatively stationary as far as types of energy sources go. However, within modern times there has been a vast development on the technologies surrounding energy. There has been great pressure from a variety of external and internal influences for organisations to transition from traditional energy sources to renewable ones.
For an organisation to make the transition, there needs to be a full understanding of the types of renewable energy available and what source would be ideal for their practices. Not only internally, but an organisation needs to analyse outside influences such as legislation and consumer demands.
Renewable energy comes with many new technologies, so it’s crucial for those involved to be competent in the principles and processes relating to these. Integrating renewable energy into existing power grids comes with its own challenges, and it needs to be assessed whether this transition is safe and viable, or if adjustments and improvements need to be made first.
With how rapidly the transition to renewable energy is occurring, it would be wise for an organisation to evaluate current energy trends and potentially predict future changes to take into account what future changes they need to prepare for.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for an organisations energy output and those who wish to develop more sustainable practices. It would be most beneficial for:
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world case studies of established organisations who have made the transition from non-renewable to renewable energy to highlight key influences and challenges faced.
Participants will partake in a variety of learning methods, such as presentations, group discussions, practical demonstrations and group activities to provide a stimulating environment to encourage full comprehension of the taught content. They will also have the opportunity to create their own plans at how they would incorporate sustainable practices into their specific roles.
