ERRA is extending its 2-day Power System Basics for Non-Engineers Training Course with content on Natural Gas.
With adding an additional day on the natural gas component we are walking through participants from production to distribution, presenting the 3 main segments (upstream, midstream and downstream) introducing key engineering concepts, standards of measurements and other relevant topics.
There are a number of educational programs out there covering both the electricity and natural gas sectors but they are predominantly focused on policy or market design aspects. ERRA’s unique 'basics' courses focus on the technical, physical and engineering aspects, which are important to be understood in order for them to be regulated especially for non-engineers.
1-day site visit will be organised for course participants.
This course is eligible for 5 CER credits. More information on the Certified Energy Regulator (CER).
The program is available to classroom and remote participants parallel. Thus, if you cannot travel to Budapest for any reason, you do not need to miss this unique technical learning opportunity, you can sign up for online participation.
For more details or any questions, please contact the ERRA Secretariat.
Participants might choose to join the electricity or the natural gas block only but they might decide to sign up for all 4 days (incl. site visit).
