The course prepares participants on the regulation necessary to foster renewable energy as one of the key pillars of the energy transition. It provides an introduction on renewable energy economics and policy across key geographies including Europe, the US and Australia. The course then covers in-depth all the regulatory measures required to support renewable energy from feed-in tariffs to contract-for-difference (CfD) schemes, as well as their different interpretations. It also covers the mechanisms for CfD auctions, and the overall process of awarding CfDs to different renewable energy technologies, risks and mitigation measures in their implementation. It concludes with the latest developments in revenue schemes for renewable energy sources, focusing on power purchase agreements (PPAs), Guarantees of Origin (GO) and power sector flexibility, and the regulatory measures that support their implementation.
This course is eligible for 10 CER credits. More information on the Certified Energy Regulator (CER).
