Understanding renewable energy technologies is important, but equally important is knowing how to effectively deploy these technologies to provide renewable energy to end-users – the topic of this course. Upon completion of the course, you will understand the development and management of renewable energy projects, large and small, from conception to launch and subsequent operation.
This course will teach you to plan, execute, and operate renewable energy projects such as solar PV plants, wind farms, and geothermal generators. We first describe how to develop a renewable energy feasibility study and make go-no-go project decisions. We then examine project site selection and evaluation of renewable technology alternatives and technology vendors. Next, we review methods for financing and organizing renewable energy projects. The course concludes with an examinations of project construction, operations and maintenance, repowering, and plant decommissioning. These capabilities will round out your understanding of renewable energy uses and deployment – come join us! Note that this course is the third in a four-course Coursera specialization in Renewable Energy: 1. Renewable Energy Technology Fundamentals 2. Renewable Power Systems 3. Renewable Energy Projects 4. Renewable Energy Futures

Very good and helpful, course was filled with so much
AM
I want to thank my teachers and courseraThank you for allow me to finished this b= course
MS
A lot of great information and I learned a lot about things I did not know. I focus on the compliance piece of renewables. I'd recommend this class to anyone that wants to learn more about energy.
DV
Great introduction to two critical skills missing in most technical professionals from the electricity industry: project management and project finance.
JG
Very good Course . Gives an overall view of renewable energy project in a simple way
OC
the accent of the speaker is unclear also he was just reading the slides their was no explanation
AS
Eventhough I do not have any previous studies in finance and economics, I was able to follow and understand the lectures.
DB
Excellent introduction into Renewable Energy Project preparation beginning with a feasibility study and alternatives evaluation.
WG
The material provided in this course is really good.
YA
The course content is good, I realised that I need to learn a lot of financial terms which I am not familiar with, including some worked examples may be useful.
JB
Amazing insights in Renewable projects developments

A good course which covers all the aspects of a Renewable Energy Project, from inception to construction, operation & decommissioning.

The material covered is extensive. However, I suggest adding the example or sample calculation and giving the template of excel that will be beneficial for calculation, particularly in financing the project. Overall, it is comprehensive, and I learned new values I gained from the course. Thank you, Coursera and the University of Colorado Boulder, for accommodating this course. Hopefully, renewable energy will take over the percentage of the mixed energy target worldwide to achieve the net-zero emissions and climate target based on the Paris Agreement.
I enjoyed every unit of this course. I appreciate that it provides a complete understanding of renewable energy projects, from feasibility study (technical, economic and financial) to implementation. It provides valuable general information about energy market dynamics, stakeholder roles, challenges and opportunities in a very easy-to-understand manner. It also provides a detailed unit on the financial aspects of the renewable energy project (financial metrics for the economic feasibility study, and alternatives for financing the project). I finished this course enriched with wonderful and valuable information. I definitely recommend this course.
Belo curso. O conteúdo lineariza o que um aspirante a gestor de projetos deverá conduzir em uma carreira de sucesso. Muitos temas no campo do planejamento e estruturação de contratos para projetos de larga escala em energias renováveis precisam ser aprendidos em outras áreas do conhecimento para que se aprimore o planejamento. Curso muito proveitoso.

Курс цікавий, трохи складний в бухгалтерскому сенсі, бо ринок Украіни трохи інакший, але так, базові знання для проєктування і інвестиційної складових проєктів схожі.
