Overview
This masterclass offers a structured introduction to the dynamics of energy systems, the principles of renewable energy and the pivotal concepts in energy transition, tailored for the New Zealand context. It covers a broad range of energy sources — from fossil fuels to emerging renewables (solar, wind, wave, tidal, bioenergy and hydrogen) — and discusses their roles in future energy systems. Participants will explore how to develop renewable projects from initial concept through to operation, as well as the key technical, commercial, operational and environmental risks associated with these projects.
Key Learning Outcomes
Participants can expect to:
Understand various global and local energy sources and their roles in transition pathways.
Gain an overview of the New Zealand energy system’s structure, history and future direction.
Appreciate the technical, commercial and environmental risks in developing renewable energy projects.
Learn how renewable energy portfolios contribute to secure, resilient and low-emissions energy futures.
Study practical case studies focusing on distributed solar, large-scale renewables and grid flexibility.
Who Should Attend
The masterclass is relevant to professionals from technical and non-technical backgrounds working across the energy sector, government, private sector, consultancy or project development. It’s especially useful for individuals seeking a solid foundation in energy transition topics, and anyone involved in energy project planning, strategy, policy, contract drafting, or commercial decision-making.
