Seminars

I run seminars in a reliably planned, structured way

Practice-oriented energy-industry seminars for education providers, municipal utilities, industry, associations, and the property sector.

Audiences

For everyone who applies energy-industry knowledge in practice

Many trainings are too theoretical or too legalistic. My standard is a different one: practical understanding and confident application — instead of memorised terminology.

Education providers
Municipal utilities
Industry
Associations
Property sector

Typical participants: new entrants and career changers, specialist departments from industry and the property sector, and teams that need to reach a shared level of knowledge quickly.

Topic catalogue

Eight topics, one standard: understandable and practical

From the fundamentals of the energy industry to current special topics such as the industrial electricity price and energy sharing.

Fundamentals of the energy industry

Market roles, traded products, and price formation, explained compactly.

KWKG (Combined Heat & Power Act)

The German CHP Act: support schemes, obligations, and practical questions.

EEG (Renewable Energy Sources Act)

The Renewable Energy Sources Act: structure, levies, and current developments.

EnWG (Energy Industry Act)

The Energy Industry Act: the framework for grids, suppliers, and customers.

Industrial electricity price

Relief mechanisms and price components for energy-intensive companies.

Electricity price compensation

Indirect-carbon-cost compensation: eligibility, application, deadlines.

Guarantees of origin & certificates

Understanding, procuring, and correctly using green-power certificates.

Energy sharing

Community energy models and the current regulatory state of play.

Teaching approach

How the seminars are designed

Clear structure

A coherent thread with an understandable progression and plain language.

Practical orientation

Examples, exercises, and typical pitfalls — with cleanly defined terms.

Predictable delivery

Reliable organisation and execution with around three months' lead time.

Measurable success shows in participant evaluations.
