Training and Capacity-Building
The energy transition involves a wide range of actors with different mandates, decision horizons, and analytical requirements. Our training and capacity-building programmes are designed to reflect these differences, adapting both content and methodology to the needs of each audience.
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.
At the same time, all programmes are grounded in a shared analytical foundation: the ability to connect technical performance, economic outcomes and policy objectives when making decisions under uncertainty.
Training is delivered through interactive, model-based learning environments that allow participants to explore scenarios, test assumptions and observe how decisions influence outcomes over time. Platforms such as Interactive.li support highly engaging sessions by enabling real-time, bidirectional interaction between facilitators and participants.
This approach promotes active stakeholder engagement, supports simulation-based learning in a safe, controlled environment, and leverages generative AI to summarise and analyse participant feedback in real time, reinforcing learning outcomes and improving discussion quality.
