RETScreen is a powerful clean energy project analysis spreadsheet software developed by NRCan. It is widely used having been downloaded free of cost from the RETScreen website by more than 215,000 users in 222 countries and territories, and is available in 35 languages.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to build investment quality decision making models for photovoltaics, wind, biogas, hydro, and combined heat and power (CHP/Cogen) projects.

Participants will learn about the analytical methods employed by the recent RETScreen Version 4, together with its databases concerning NASA renewable energy resources, products and suppliers, and UNFCCC carbon baselines. Analysis methods include energy systems, financial (NPV, ROR, IRR, DSCR, etc), economic, risk and sensitivity, greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis.

While the workshop will focus on imparting hands-on skills on the use of RETScreen, participants will also gain insights that will enable their self-learning about the engineering principles and algorithms behind the models.

This workshop is suitable for those involved in renewable energy credit/certificate (REC) analysis, carbon trading, investment due diligence, feasibility analysis, project finance, economics, infrastructure finance, business development, project development, venture capital, private equity, banking, family offices etc.

The instructor is Dr. Roland Clarke who recently conducted in-house workshops for the World Bank in Washington DC,  Hanoi - Vietnam, Beijing - China, Manila - the Philippines and Jakarta - Indonesia.
