Diploma in Wind Energy Management


Course Overview

The Diploma in Wind Energy Management is a Diploma (UK Level 4-equivalent) route delivered by the London School of Petroleum and Energy (LSPE), a specialist division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs across a duration band of 9 to 12 months and is designed to build your practitioner understanding of the commercial and analytical management of wind-energy assets from an energy-economics and portfolio perspective. Content is aligned with recognised UK and international energy bodies, and reflects the way modern petroleum, energy and transition businesses actually work in practice.

By the end of the Diploma in Wind Energy Management, students are able to speak the language of the energy economics, finance, trading & analytics function with confidence, apply structured tools to onshore and offshore wind economics and wind power PPAs, and step into their next role or further study route with credible, industry-referenced study behind them. The Diploma in Wind Energy Management sits inside LSPE's Energy Economics, Finance, Trading & Analytics portfolio and connects deliberately to adjacent programmes covering wind portfolio analytics and route-to-market, so students can move sideways or upward through the LSPE portfolio without losing continuity.
