SIEW 2023 

 

The 16th Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) is Asia’s leading platform for the discussion of key energy issues that impact the region. Themed "Energy Transition Towards a Net Zero World”, SIEW 2023 is organised by the Energy Market Authority of Singapore, and will take place from 23 to 27 October 2023 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.

 

The event serves as a platform for global energy leaders to address pathways to strengthen efforts towards net zero even as the world undergoes an energy transition. Discussions range from financing gaps for renewable technologies, to policies that governments and industries can implement to decarbonise and accelerate electrification.

Power Purchase Agreement

 

Live Online Course over 5 sessions

Dates: 11 - 19 October 2023 

https://www.infocusinternational.com/ppa-online

 

Overview 

 

There are many moving pieces affecting the future of electric power development in emerging market. Unlike the past Independent Power Project models, which featured standardised take-or-pay contracts – today’s market demands more innovative incentives to ensure better availability, better performance, as well as more attractive and sustainable mixtures of fuel sources. Economies throughout developing countries urgently need to master the key tools, models, and lessons learned for transforming and strengthening today’s electricity sector. These include the latest models in negotiating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), in designing and managing new competitive power markets, as well as attracting the right mix of renewable energy sources.

 

This live online training course gives you clear explanations of the new models of PPA risk allocation, of designing and managing competitive power markets, attracting private investments in renewable energy, through a series of real case examples of contracts and markets. Case Studies will include real examples from Africa, Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America. Furthermore, cases stimulate independent thinking and discussion among participants.

 

A past participant from Energy Commission Malaysia shared, “The course on PPA has really broadened my understanding of how a bankable PPA should be. It covers all aspects of it.”

 

“The course was an eye-opener for me as it clarified for me the parties & responsibilities as much,” said past participants of Enel Green Power.

 

Book your seat now and discover valuable lessons to be learned from the European experience.

Mastering Solar Power

 

Live Online Course over 5 sessions

Dates: 23 - 27 October 2023

https://www.infocusinternational.com/solar-online

 

Overview 

 

Throughout these 5 sessions, attendees will gain a good understanding of the key factors from an integrated, multidisciplinary and commercial viewpoint, including: target market analysis, economic competitiveness, channels-to-market, financing influences and risk, project development processes, best practices and emerging technologies.

 

The course schedule includes illustration of key project development considerations, including energy yield, financial and other simple calculations, along with the chance to discuss key planning and market environment considerations.

 

In keeping with the business-focused theme of the course, these illustrative exercises are designed to provide time efficient clarification of the key course takeaways, aimed at commercially-focused business developers and investors. They are therefore accessible to non-experts, not designed to replicate the complex or in-depth detailed planning undertaken - over much longer periods! - by engineers and technical teams.

 

“It is an eye opener for us. The presentation was very informative and in a practical sense. It has unlocked more opportunities and directives of how an organization can grow and invest in meaningful projects that are trending.

Infocus International is also a great platform I would recommend to future attendees,” shared by a past attendee from Solomon Islands Ports Authority.

 

Another past attendee from ib vogt also shared, “Thank you very much for the highly informative trainings. I am very much pleased with how Infocus International is very accommodating and responsive on every request. Thank you again and see you soon in the upcoming course.” 

 

“The trainer represents a thoughtful and unbiased view in the realm of renewable energy. His insights are well reasoned, clear and, perhaps most importantly, backed up by hard numbers. Definitely a person I would turn to for guidance in this space,” commented by a past attendee from responsAbility Investments AG.

 

Course Sessions

 

  • What makes a solar power plant?
