Our economies are rapidly becoming more electrified and run on renewables.

The landscape of electricity production and use is changing fast. So fast that our grids now risk becoming the biggest bottleneck of the clean energy transition.

In this course we’ll discuss how to future-proof electrical grids so they can deliver clean, affordable and reliable electricity for all.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Discuss the opportunities and challenges of integrating renewables into grids
Explain how to future-proof grids by making them bigger, stronger and smarter
Indicate policy options and possible solutions
Compare the benefits and limitations of national grids, mini-grids and stand-alone
Reflect on how to apply what you’ve learned in your work
