RETScreen Summary - Speaker's notes
SLIDE 1: Summary of Introductory Module
Here we summarize what has been discussed in the presentations of the Introductory Module and provide additional information on the RETScreen Software.
SLIDE 2: Conclusions
Clean energy technologies have matured, many cost-effective applications exist and markets are growing rapidly. For their further growth, it is important that planners, decision-makers, industry, and other stakeholders consider, in the early stages of their projects, the possibility of employing clean energy technologies. RETScreen facilitates this, by simplifying preliminary evaluation of clean energy technology projects.
SLIDE 3: Growth of RETScreen Software User Base
Since its release, RETScreen has seen an impressive expansion in its software user base, not just in Canada, but around the world.
SLIDE 4: A Decision Support & Capacity Building Tool
RETScreen has proven useful in many ways. While the majority of users employ it to assess projects, it is also helpful for project development, training, policy analysis, and product R&D.

SLIDE 5: Common Platform for Project Evaluation & Development
RETScreen can serve as the interface between the various project stakeholders: funders & lenders, regulators & policy makers, consultants & product suppliers and planners, developers & owners. It is a clear and concise summary of the essential characteristics of the project necessary for each of these stakeholders. To illustrate how this could work, the RETScreen software files can be shared among the various project stakeholders via e-mail. A consultant may be asked to prepare a RETScreen study for the project owner, such as an independent power producer (IPP). The IPP may then want to change input values as part of a sensitivity analysis of key parameters such as return on investment. The IPP may in turn be asked by the potential lender to submit the file to them so that they can perform the project due-diligence review. In parallel, the utility regulator may want the project file to verify the GHG estimates, and so on. The overall time and cost savings attributable to the RETScreen Software are very important in terms of accelerating clean energy project implementation and market expansion.
