Overview

About this programme

This course equips energy planners, GIS professionals, engineers, and analysts with the skills to apply GIS and spatial analysis in the energy sector. Participants will learn how to collect, manage, and analyze geospatial data to support energy resource mapping, infrastructure planning, network optimization, and environmental impact assessment.

Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, participants will gain the ability to transform spatial data into actionable insights for improved operational efficiency, decision-making, and strategic energy planning.
