About the Instructor
Disha has a Master’s degree in Geosciences with specialization in geospatial analysis. She has worked for various energy companies in the renewable energy space. She uses her expertise and knowledge to develop wind energy projects throughout the world.
Why my course is useful
Almost every energy company has incorporated a plan to develop a renewable energy portfolio. This course will show you the geospatial analysis, products, and decisions that go into evaluating property as candidates for wind farms.
Why I built it
When I got my Master’s degree, I was like many graduates who were looking at any avenue to find a job. But I got the lucky break to have my current position at BayWA r.e. and I love what I do. Very little in my education really prepared me to do the tasks I now perform. So I hope to expose more people to this type of GIS analysis.
What I hope for you
I want more GIS graduates knocking on the doors of energy companies with targeted GIS skills to help them advance sustainable alternatives. Renewable energy is a wonderful area to invest your career. And when you apply for a job, you can already have our windfarm map on your portfolio. Way more marketable than when I applied for the job!

Who is this class for?
The GIS industry is projected to be worth $18B by 2023. Despite this massive growth in new applications, there hasn’t been a single place for all of us to quickly learn tried and true skills from successful Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Until Now! The people that purchase this course are:
College students and graduates looking to apply to GIS analyst jobs in the safety arena
Technicians looking to retrain themselves and remain relevant
Energy business professionals that want to learn mapping capabilities for renewable operations
Talk to us and we’ll figure out your best path into the industry by suggesting project managers, companies, networks, and a GIS job recruiter. It’s simply the best GIS career advisement in the world.
Top reviews from Mapping Financial Viability For Wind Farms
I was looking for a class like this and glad I found it. I liked how classes like this are focussed on real problems.
More GIS classes should be like this to show us how to solve an energy need. Thanks.
Lots of good stuff about the process leading to energy sustainability. Glad to learn how GIS supports this.
There are lots of steps in this process to keep track of. I think I need to go through this again with an internship.
I really appreciated this course and it inspired me to form my career around this workflow.
