Navigating modern and effective regulation in energy transition will be an important driver of energy systems' adaptation to the new, green architecture of energy supply and demand. ERRA - in collaboration with the Regulatory Energy Transition Accelerator (RETA) - proposes a brand new, pioneering training that covers all key topics of adapting regulatory practice to the new context of transitioning energy system.
The main objective of this 5-day course is to provide an in-depth understanding of regulatory roles towards energy transition focusing on fundamentals, features, new developments, main drivers and outstanding challenges of energy transition, international policies and regulations culminating in a meaningful path to low carbon economy. This course is designed primarily for specialists who want to have an in-depth understanding of the regulatory aspects of the energy transition process.
