Lecturers in training were Marijana Yaneva, Director of Politics, APSTE; Valentin Gospodinov, Director for Bulgaria, Sunotec; Dimitar Dimitrov, Renewable Energy Insurance Broker; Dimitar Cekov, Technical Director, Renergy; Asen Asenov, Eneri; Kristian Mitov, xFigure Finance; Roza Ivanova, xFigure Finance; Stefana Cekova, lawyer, Schoenherr. The training is part of the initiatives related to the Master's program "Energy Markets and Services" at FEBA.

The course is based on SolarPower Europe's “Guide to Best Practices in the Design, Procurement and Construction of Photovoltaic Power Plants”, which APSTE translated, supplementing it with guidelines from the experience of Bulgarian companies – members of APSTE, both local and international markets.

All participants received certificates for their participation from the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Assoc. Prof. Atanas Georgiev at the end of the second day.

Due to the great interest in the previous editions, the organizers are planning further trainings in 2024.
