Programme Overview
In India, renewable and sustainable energy initiatives are no longer peripheral. With over 200 GW of installed renewable capacity and ambitious national targets for the coming decade, energy-related decisions are increasingly being taken across organisations, with clear expectations for planning, evaluation, and delivery. As activities scale, professionals must engage simultaneously with technical understanding, financial implications, policy considerations and implementation realities.
How do professionals develop a clear, end-to-end understanding of renewable and sustainable energy initiatives while balancing these interconnected considerations?
The Advanced Programme in Renewable & Sustainable Energy Management (APRSEM) at Delhi Technological University (DTU) is designed to address this need through a structured, application-oriented curriculum. This 6-month programme equips participants with practical insights into renewable energy technologies, energy storage, grid integration, policy and regulatory environments, project planning and energy economics, enabling informed decision-making across the clean energy value chain.
Delivered through a live online learning format, complemented by a 3-day campus immersion at DTU, this career-enhancing programme is designed for engineers, managers, policy professionals, consultants, and practitioners working across energy, infrastructure, utilities, and related sectors who seek a structured understanding of clean energy systems and transition dynamics.
