RENAC’s Global Education Project Supports the Development of Sustainable Energy Supplies in Mongolia
BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This week, with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office, public and private representatives from Mongolia's energy sector dealing with renewable energy and energy efficiency met educational specialists from Germany's Renewables Academy (RENAC) in Ulaanbaatar to define training needs along the value chains. The bilateral talks and workshops formed part of RENAC's accomplished "TREE - Transfer Renewable Energy & Efficiency" international training program, whose aim is to develop national strategies for training specialists in the development of sustainable energy supplies.
Renewable energies will get more and more important in the near future in Mongolia. Using current estimates of population growth, Mongolia may experience a three-fold increase in energy demand by 2020.
In the most cases, supplying rural areas with electricity from the centralized power system is neither economically feasible nor technically possible. At the same time renewable energy applications are most suitable for the nomadic lifestyle. Mongolia has abundant renewable energy resources for solar technologies, wind energy and hydropower. In order to benefit fully from renewable energies, to maintain already existing systems properly and to build up an own clean energy industry, one of the biggest challenges is the training of personnel with appropriate skills. In addition suitable political and economic conditions must be created.
During the Mongolian-German talks and workshops, the requirements and conditions for a training program on renewable energy and energy efficiency issues in the country’s educational institutions and for different professional groups were defined, and strategies developed for their implementation in practice. To follow this up, RENAC is planning a series of training courses for policy makers, to be held next year, on creating effective policy frameworks for the development of renewable energies, together with other courses dealing with the implementation of the technologies in practice.
RENAC, based in Berlin (Germany), has already been supporting the development of the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector on an international scale over the last 3 years through its internationally recognized TREE education project. To date, with the support of the German Federal Environment Ministry, courses have been undertaken with participants from more than 50 countries. In November the German Federal Foreign Office took over promotion of the project. Mongolia has been included in the list of target countries, together with others such as Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. The TREE project has already won acclaim, both nationally and internationally, through a number of awards.
About RENAC: RENAC, based in Berlin, is an international provider of education and training and other services related to professional education in renewable energies and energy efficiency. Its range of services includes open and in-house courses, e-learning, consultancy and support of third parties in course design - from drawing up of curricula through to setting up training centers.
