Carol had the privilege of attending a transformative course offered by The Power Futures Lab, a beacon of excellence at UCT GSB. The training discussed the ongoing efforts to transform power markets by reforming, unbundling, and increasing access to clean technologies.

Despite these transformations, a significant portion of the population still lacks electricity access, posing a major challenge. Corporate renewable energy Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) show promise in addressing supply gaps, but sustainable reform requires effective regulation and a strengthened regulator. The training emphasized the importance of robust governance and regulation structures in achieving a balance between resource allocation and consumer protection.

Additionally, the integration of renewables was explored as both a challenge and an opportunity for innovation in technology, business, and market models. Carol gained valuable insights from the training, motivating her to contribute positively to the energy sector.

Carol conducted a training session on Attracting Investment for Sustainable Mobility and Productive Uses of Energy at the Climate Finance for Sustainable Energy Transition in Africa conference and training organized by the European University Institute in Accra, Ghana.
During the session, she explored the feasibility of using electric mobility to ensure the efficient use of electricity in rural and peri-urban areas.

Carol successfully completed the advanced training course (ATC) on deployment of renewable energy solutions.
The training was offered in collaboration with RES4Africa, European Investment Bank, Enel Foundation and Ministero delgi Affari esteri e della cooperazione internazionale.

As a finalist of the Young Talent innovators award, 2021, Carol was selected to participate in the Advanced training course (ATC) sponsored by RES4Africa.
The course is dedicated to young professionals and middle managers coming from all African countries.
It aims to provide participants with a set of technical, economic and regulatory core competencies and advanced tools to assess and deploy the most appropriate solutions in different energy contexts for an efficient and effective integration of renewables in emerging electricity markets.

Carol attended the 18th edition of the MGA training sponsored by Enel foundation and RES4Africa from 21st - 25th June 2021. The training provided insights on decentralised renewables against COVID operations and maintenance.

Carol was selected to join the FFBS Greentech program after a competitive selection process.
The program provides training for a select team of female entrepreneurs in Africa, aiming to carry out development programmes related to the the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The program will link the founders to potential venture capital firms, and provide training and mentorship in business and product development.

Carol was nominated and participated in the training by AfDB on Public Private Partnerships' viability to supplement public sector investments in power transmission in Africa.
The program included participants from the East African Power Pool, including: Egypt, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Sudan and Somalia.
The program was managed by Weircapacity, an accredited training organisation for APMG-PPP certification.

The online course covered the role of policies for electric vehicles charging infrastructure deployment, role of business models in charging infrastructure deployment, managing additional EV loads in the Power System and Insights into additional V2X applications of EVs.

The training financed by the World Bank provided an introduction to the operations and maintenance of HVDC systems.

The training organized under the Ethiopia-Kenya Interconnector project provided an in-depth understanding of the training simulator procured by KETRACO, document management systems and protection and control relays used in the project.

The training organized under the Nairobi Ring Electrification project was carried out in Machakos. It covered introduction to overhead line design, electrical parameters of OHL line design including insulation coordination and insulator design.

The online course covered the introduction to power systems in african countries, off grid generation, modelling tools for hybrid generation,technologies for transmission and distribution,electrification planning,investment in electrification,regulation principles and institutions, and financing energy development in Africa.

The training was funded by the KETRACO training committee and provided insight in the configuration and operation of ABB distance protection relay. The training was carried out at Kafue Gorge Regional Training Centre in Zambia.

The training was organized and funded under the MKKN project contract. It provided knowledge on the application, operation and configuration of SIEMENS relays Siprotec 4 and Reyrolles relay and was conducted at Shyama Power India Ltd. Offices, New Delhi. The training also provided a hands on approach on DIGSI and Toolbox II for automation.

Carol underwent 2-week practical training on Power Systems Controls and Protection at Shanghai Goose Electric (GE Multilin) on the application, operation and configuration of the GE relays used in the KPTSIP project. The training covered Bus differential schemes, Feeder management and bay control relay (F650), Transformer protection relay (T60).

The training was aimed at the design and operation of power systems in general and power transmission in particular. Various topics covered were HVAC substation design and operation, HVAC tower design and operation, HVAC equipment and conductor specification, contract development and negotiations, civil and electrical aspects of power transmission projects, HVDC transmission basics and projects arbitrations basics.

The training covered in depth analysis of Stephen Covey's book whilst providing modes of implementation of the habits in day to day living.
