It is the first part of a series of 4 individual training modules designed specifically for professionals who seek to become proficient in the regulatory economics of the energy industry.
This module is the central anchor of Economic Regulation covering all of the topics in the hybrid training programme on a higher level, while focusing on the principles of economic regulation, applied regulatory models, the building-block approach to revenue-setting and revenue determinants. It also provides introductory principles of cost-allocation, tariff structure and tariff design.

overall rating of the course
Participating in the Economic Regulation and Electricity Tariff Setting programme was a highly enriching and professionally valuable experience.
The course provided a rigorous yet practical exploration of core regulatory principles, revenue requirement methodologies, tariff design, and market mechanisms. What stood out most was the programme’s ability to bridge theory and practice. The discussions and case examples were directly relevant to the day-to-day responsibilities of regulatory professionals, particularly in the context of ongoing sector reform and energy transition. The opportunity to engage with peers from different jurisdictions also offered meaningful comparative insights and broadened my perspective on contemporary regulatory challenges.
I would strongly recommend this programme to regulators and energy sector professionals seeking to strengthen their technical foundation while engaging in forward-looking discussions on the future of electricity markets.
