Natural gas markets face a turmoil, due to short term shocks like the COVID pandemic, but more importantly to long term changes of the energy policy agenda, that is shifting towards decarbonization. How to set infrastructure tariffs and redistribute social benefits and costs in a national system and in a cross-border setting?

The course will provide participants with an overview of the fundamental policy objectives and the policy measures available to achieve these objectives. The course will guide you through the steps of natural gas infrastructure tariff and end user price setting in theory and in practice. It does so through an instructor-led collaborative e-learning platform that features a combination of real-time interactive presentations, Excel modelling exercises, online tutoring at pre-announced times, reading material related to the course modules and weekly exercises coupled with homework assignments. The course will last a total of 4 weeks.
