MBA Renewables 2022: Back on Campus!
The on-campus time in Berlin has always been a highlight of the MBA Renewables programme. After two years of pandemic lockdowns, RENAC hosted the MBA Renewables on-campus time in Berlin this year. Over 25 students from around the world attended lectures and obtained hands-on experiences at the RENAC Training Centre, focusing on photovoltaics (PV), economics of PV systems, solar thermal energy, and wind energy. This programme component is an outstanding opportunity for students to work with peers and to connect with experts, lecturers, and alumni. The on-campus time is part of the MBA elective, Practical Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. As part of this elective, students also attend virtual live sessions in June and will finish the module with a written group assignment on decarbonising the energy sector. MBA Renewables is a distance-learning master’s degree programme, jointly offered by the Berlin University of Applied Sciences and RENAC. Contact:

Konrad Adenauer Foundation Scholarships Support Student Achievement
Especialización en Energías Renovables is a one-year postgraduate programme designed for professionals interested in entering renewable energy markets (RE) in Latin America. It covers RE technologies, project development, financing, and management.
Current students are completing modules, assignments, and exams as well as attending virtual classroom sessions. As a final project, students will write and present scientific research papers.
Thanks to the support from Konrad Adenauer Foundation’s partial scholarships, granted through its Energy Security and Climate Change Programme in Latin America, many students are pursuing their professional goals and alumni have achieved their career objectives. This year’s spring post-programme survey showed that many alumni have made successful career transitions and some started their own businesses.
This Spanish-language programme is a partnership between EARTH University in Costa Rica and RENAC.

Upskilling of Solar Installers Includes PV Installation Training and Sharpening Entrepreneurial Skills
Over 300 Suryamitras (solar installers) from across India completed the second phase of training as part of the iRISE (Indian Rooftop PV Installers Skilling and Employment) project. Participants took the 10-day, in-person training course at 15 different partner institutions, which were equipped with state-of-the-art training hardware.
The course focused on high-quality PV installations and on providing entrepreneurial opportunities for residential rooftop system installers. The objectives of the training align with India’s ambitious total installed capacity of rooftop PV goals. This second phase follows a successful first phase, which was completed by over 1,400 solar installers at 30 training partner institutions.
The iRISE project is funded by BMZ. RENAC and Skills Council for Green Jobs (SCGJ) are implementing the project on behalf of GIZ.

Successful Completion of the Green Banking for Recovery Online Training Programme in Burundi and Nigeria
The programme started with engaging virtual kick-off workshops in December 2021. Over 130 participants from Burundi and Nigeria representing commercial banks, development finance institutions (DFIs), microfinance institutions (MFIs), and saving and credit cooperatives (SACCOs) then successfully completed the online training phase in April 2022, which included four modules and exams.
The programme supported stakeholders with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop robust renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) financing options. This helps to advance an effective financial response to COVID-19’s economic impact, enabling a swift and sustainable green recovery in the region.
It was implemented by RENAC in cooperation with GET.invest, (a European programme) supported by the European Union, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Austria.

Stakeholders from Canada and Germany Share Their Expertise on Hydrogen
In April, RENAC, together with the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce and adelphi, organised a virtual expert delegation tour on hydrogen for over 20 high-ranking professionals from Canada.
During the three-day event, German experts in policymaking, industry, and research shared their insights into the hydrogen landscape in Germany with Canadian stakeholders. The tour concluded with delegates looking forward to continuing discussions on areas of collaboration. This event took place within the framework of the German Canadian Energy Partnership.
RENAC is the lead partner for the organisation of expert delegation trips as part of a consortium that provides support to the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) in their endeavor to foster the energy and climate cooperation with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

Key Takeaways from EurObserv’ER Wind Energy and Photovoltaic Barometers
The latest EurObserv'ER Wind Energy and Photovoltaic Barometers were recently released. The growth of the solar photovoltaic market continued in 2021, with the EurObserv’ER consortium's calculations concluding that a maximum net capacity of 22.3 GW was generated in the EU. This brings the total capacity generated to date to 158.4 GW.
In April, the Wind Energy Barometer was published. Although there were improvements made between 2020 and 2021, the pace of wind energy development is too slow to reach the EU's 2030 climate and energy framework targets. In order to reach the 2030 target of 40% of renewable energy in final energy consumption, the wind energy industry estimates that almost three times as much capacity needs to be installed each year.
EurObserv'ER Barometers are available to the public free of charge.
