Why Renewables Development Expertise Is Essential in Today’s Energy Transition
Utility-scale renewable energy deployment is accelerating dramatically, with 32.5GW of new solar capacity and 18.2GW of battery storage projected for grid connection in 2025 alone. As grid constraints intensify and competition for connection capacity grows, developers need sophisticated technical and commercial knowledge to navigate complex development pathways and secure successful project outcomes.
This intensive two-day course delivers practical insights into utility-scale renewable energy project development. Leveraging Decerna’s experience developing 250MW of battery storage sites in Scotland and consulting on a portfolio of 1GW of renewable projects, participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of the technical, regulatory, and commercial aspects driving successful grid-scale deployments.
