Training and Capacity-Building
Our training and capacity-building programmes are built around the same integrated modelling framework we use in our analytical work. This includes thermodynamic performance modelling, financial and economic evaluation, system dynamics simulation, uncertainty analysis, and risk assessment. Participants learn not just how to use tools, but how to connect technical, economic and policy perspectives when forming judgments.
We use interactive, model-based learning environments that allow participants to explore scenarios, test assumptions and see how decisions shape long-term outcomes. Platforms such as Interactive.li help keep sessions responsive and engaging, with real-time feedback that encourages experimentation and discussion rather than passive listening.
The energy transition involves actors with different mandates, time horizons, and analytical needs. Our training explicitly recognises these differences and adapts methodologies accordingly.
Private-Sector Project Developers
For utilities, investors, developers, and engineering firms, we focus on project-level financial and techno-economic decision support, including:
- Capital and operating cost analysis
- Revenue-requirements modelling
- Project finance fundamentals and bankability considerations
The emphasis is on viability, competitiveness, and risk-adjusted returns.
Public-Sector Policy Makers and Planners
For ministries, regulators, and energy-planning institutions, we emphasise system-wide and economy-wide evaluation, including:
- Economic appraisal and social cost–benefit analysis
- Macroeconomic impact assessment using IO and extended IO models
- Socioeconomic and distributional impact considerations
The emphasis is on public value, welfare impacts, and long-term system outcomes.
