New Course

We have been busy developing, filming and producing new online material. We are really excited about the new courses we are going to launch in 2022. This course is  already available for in-house training. It can be taught as a stand-alone course or part of a more tailored in-house training program.

Battery Storage – Launching this month

This course will cover a range of topics related to battery storage including

• energy markets fundamentals
• types of battery storage
• the uses of storage capacity
• battery terminology
• the economics behind batteries
• and the risks associated with the storage investments.

This course includes a simple downloadable financial model for demonstration purposes, but this is not a modeling class.

The financial model is provided as additional detail to illustrate how the concepts become real through a set of numbers.

This course does not cover project finance concepts. debt, taxes, or the core agreements in project finance.

For an in-depth review of these topics please see our Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling course.

If you prefer a more tailored approach including live-training, please contact us to discuss personalized battery courses for you and your team.

And finally, meet the team who created the course Jeff Reamer, Brent Grundberg, Haydn Palliser.
