Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on renewable energy project finance both accrue interest. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how project finance is controlled. It treats this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on renewable energy project finance are used deliberately. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations and revise it on evidence. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in project finance that were visible long before the incident. Plans for renewable energy project finance often fail at the handover point between functions. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in project finance rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
