Module 1 – Introduction to Renewable Energy Management
This module introduces the core concepts of renewable energy and its role in the global transition to sustainable power systems. You will explore key definitions, the types of renewable sources, their environmental and economic benefits, and the policy frameworks driving the clean energy revolution. Real-world examples and foundational readings are provided to give you a solid starting point for advanced study.

Module 2 Technologies in Renewable Energy
This module provides a comprehensive overview of the leading renewable energy technologies shaping the global energy landscape. Students will explore wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, biomass, hydrogen, and emerging technologies such as synthetic fuels, EVs, and advanced battery storage. Through in-depth analysis and real-world examples, the module highlights how innovation, efficiency, and economic feasibility are driving the adoption of clean energy solutions across the world.

Module 3 – Financial Aspects of Renewable Energy Projects
This module explores the core financial principles and tools necessary to plan, evaluate, and manage renewable energy projects. Students will learn key terms such as CAPEX, OPEX, NPV, and IRR, and examine how these financial indicators shape investment decisions. The module also covers various funding models, government incentives, cost-benefit analysis, and risk management strategies. Through real-world examples and case studies, learners gain the analytical skills needed to assess the economic feasibility and long-term success of clean energy projects.

Module 4 Project Development in Renewable Energy
This module provides a step-by-step guide to the full lifecycle of renewable energy project development—from site selection and feasibility studies to permitting, financial planning, construction, and execution. Students will learn how to assess environmental and technical viability, engage communities, secure financing, and navigate regulatory approvals. The module also introduces Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and their financial and strategic role in ensuring long-term project success. A case study of the SunWind Solar Farm illustrates real-world application of all project stages.

Module 5 – Policy and Regulatory Environment in Renewable Energy
This module explores the critical role of government policies, financial incentives, and regulatory frameworks in driving renewable energy development. Students will examine key policy tools such as Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs), Renewable Heat Incentives (RHI), and Contracts for Difference (CfDs), as well as major policy strategies like the UK’s net-zero plan and the European Green Deal.
