Energy Storage

The Energy Storage (Online Course), offered by Infocus International, is a business-focused online program designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of energy storage opportunities, competing solutions, and project delivery essentials. With a core emphasis on battery storage, it also explores alternative technologies and addresses a wide range of problems energy storage solves across deployment sizes and timescales. The course equips participants with insights into market growth drivers, potential limitations, and future trends, making it ideal for those investing in or developing energy storage business cases. It is delivered live online over four sessions, commencing on 17 November 2025.

Core Content

The curriculum is structured into four sessions that progressively cover battery technologies, market applications, and emerging trends. It starts with an overview of battery storage technologies, costs, and deployment considerations, explaining key performance factors in accessible language. Subsequent sessions explore business cases for short-duration and intraday storage, including grid operations and value drivers. The program then addresses growing opportunities for long-duration energy storage (LDES), evaluating alternatives to batteries and demand drivers. The final session focuses on distributed storage, such as behind-the-meter deployments and the rise of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), analyzing competition between distributed and centralized solutions.

Key Skills

Participants develop a clear understanding of energy storage market opportunities, deployment considerations, and competitive landscapes, including economic variables impacting business cases. The course builds competencies in analyzing battery technologies, assessing project delivery issues, and evaluating applications for short-duration, intraday, and long-duration storage. Learners gain practical abilities in identifying growth trends, mitigating limitations, and exploring distributed storage models like VPPs, enabling them to analyze revenue opportunities and stay ahead of emerging solutions for longer-duration needs.

Target Learners

This program is suited for professionals in business, commercial, and strategic roles within the power sector, including policymakers, investors (such as commercial and development banks, venture capital, and private equity), power generators (utilities and IPPs), renewable energy project developers, transmission/distribution system operators, vendors, EPC contractors, large energy users, vehicle fleet operators, and commercial service suppliers (law, insurance). It is particularly valuable for those considering investments or developments in energy storage without requiring advanced technical expertise.

Learning Format

The course is delivered live online over four sessions (3 hours each) from 17 to 20 November 2025, using a virtual learning platform for interactive engagement. It combines presented materials with Q&A, discussions, quantitative models, and current market examples, supplemented by case studies and practical exercises. A pre-course questionnaire customizes content, and electronic materials are provided. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Certificate of Completion. The format emphasizes high engagement and networking, similar to on-site courses.

Additional Benefits

Graduates earn a certificate that enhances professional credentials in energy storage and related fields, with access to a network of peers for ongoing collaboration. The program provides practical tools for analyzing opportunities and risks, drawing from global examples to inform business decisions. It supports career advancement by addressing breadth and complexity in storage markets, with options for related courses in areas like sustainable procurement or green hydrogen.
