About the Course

Harness predictable, high-density marine power assets to diversify generation portfolios and meet long-term clean energy targets. This specialized program equips utility executives, offshore project leads, and investment strategists with the technical and economic capabilities to evaluate and execute marine renewable energy (MRE) projects.

Through practical, case-based modules, participants analyze the financial viability, risk profiles, and regulatory pathways of commercial offshore developments. The curriculum addresses resource mapping, environmental impact frameworks, subsea cabling, and high-voltage grid connection logistics. Build the strategic capacity to de-risk capital investments and accelerate large-scale offshore power deployment.

How does Pebbles Institute bridge theory and practice?

Our curriculum is explicitly designed around actionable, real-world case studies and frameworks (such as IPSAS, GFS, and climate-smart agriculture models). Rather than relying purely on academic lectures, our programs utilize quantitative tools, interactive exercises, and strategic analytics to ensure immediate workplace application.

If you are unable to attend, you must notify us in writing at least 7 days before the course start date. You may choose to nominate a qualified substitute colleague at no additional cost or defer your enrolment to the next scheduled cohort for that program.

Most of our professional short courses are structured as intensive 5- or 10-day programs to minimize extended workplace absence while maximizing skill acquisition. We also offer compressed 1-to-3-day masterclasses.

Our primary residential and corporate training programs are hosted in premium, fully equipped conference facilities in Nairobi, Kenya. We also coordinate regional and international training locations depending on the specific cohort and organizational requirements. Exact venue details are communicated in your admission letter.

Payments can be made via bank transfer or bank draft payable to PB Institute of Research and Technology. For corporate-sponsored participants, a formal undertaking/Local Purchase Order (LPO) from the employer is required to secure a slot before the training commencement date.

Yes. We specialize in corporate capacity building. Corporate sponsorships and group registrations can be coordinated directly through our admissions team. We also offer customized, in-house versions of our courses if you have a team of five or more participants.
