Future Energy Systems and Decarbonization Pathways

Traditional "vertically-oriented" sectoral regulation risks being inadequate for modern power systems under the challenge of energy transition. This advanced and new course addresses "on-the-edge" issues, such as the role of hydrogen and synthetic fuels, the future of natural gas networks, sector coupling (power-to-heat, power-to-gas), long-term system planning for net-zero, regulatory frameworks that support innovation, and just transition considerations.

Future-Proof End-Use Tariff and Retail Supply Regulation

Traditional tariff structures are increasingly unfit for modern power systems integrating high shares of renewables, electrifying end users, and accommodating distributed energy resources. This advanced course guides participants through the principles of modern tariff design - looking beyond cost recovery, cost reflectivity, and economic efficiency to address capacity based tariffs, dynamic tariffs, and alternative structures adequate for the grids of the future. Duration: 3 days
