engagement with Australian businesses.
Learning objectives
The course will focus on the following learning objectives:
• Understand the foundations of renewable energy technologies and their environmental
and economic benefits (with a particular focus on solar)
• Learn from Australia’s experience in providing affordable, reliable energy solutions for
isolated communities
• Understand infrastructure investment and investor perspectives in renewable energy
(commercial viability)
• Learn about Australian renewable energy technologies and capabilities
• Connect with a broad range of relevant Australian industry stakeholders
• Explore current laws, policies, and regulations (including environmental assessments)
relevant to renewable energy planning, preparation and operations
• Analyse the role of different stakeholders in renewable energy operations (e.g. local
governments, central government agencies, private sector, NGOs, consumers) and
discuss options for stakeholder relationship management
• Develop networks between individuals and organisations to improve collaboration and
identify business opportunities in the sector
To achieve these outcomes, the course will apply a range of learning methodologies including
classroom sessions; case studies; site visits; discussion and planning sessions; simulations and
role plays; networking events; and an in-depth individual or a small group project (Award Project).
The Award Project model is used across all Australia Awards in Indonesia’s Short Courses. The
course participants present the project plan at the pre-course workshop, further develop the
project during the course in Australia and present the implemented project (rationale, objectives,
steps, challenges, outcomes and next steps) at the post-course workshop.
