Corporate PPA Training Bootcamp in Brisbane

Is your business or council based in Queensland? Are you looking to learn about renewable energy procurement for your organisation and how renewable energy can deliver community benefits? Join us for BRC-A’s Corporate PPA Training Bootcamp on 7th – 8th of May in Brisbane!

We are delivering a renewable PPA training ‘Bootcamp’ for energy buyers in Queensland following our introductory workshops. This session is a 1.5-day PPA training intensive designed to enable energy buyers that have understood the basics to proceed to contract via PPAs with confidence. The Bootcamp will feature presentations from Queensland businesses and councils that have executed PPAs and delivered community benefits.

Delivered 2-3 times each year, participants learn from our Buyers Faculty – experienced people from buyer organisations in a wide range of sectors with in-depth PPA knowledge. Our Buyers Faculty provide real-world takeaways, and this course will allow you to ask those questions you haven’t yet asked in an open environment and build relationships with people in similar roles.
