Building on our flagship ‘Specialised Training on the Regulation of Gas Markets’, this new course is held this year in a fully online format and with a renewed programme, which considers the recent developments impacting gas markets in Europe and worldwide. Understanding gas market dynamics has never been more important than today.
The course starts with a three-week preparatory block which will provide you with the core knowledge and instruments needed to approach the study of gas markets, regulation, and policy. After completing these preparatory materials, you will apply and further develop your knowledge in a full week of online live classes. These sessions will provide a more in-depth perspective of gas market dynamics, and compare different regional gas market models and developments, covering the building blocks of European gas regulation as well as perspectives on the future of gas in an evolving international landscape.
What you will learn:
The FSR Gas Fundamentals covers the basic principles of regulation in the gas sector, including transmission tariffs, balancing markets, gas hubs and pipeline competition, incentives for new infrastructure, and price caps.
Along with a general assessment of the gas market context, the course gives an overview on the various and diverse gas regulation and policy applying in different geographical contexts (ex. EU, Latin America). By comparing different regional gas market models, the course analyses the EU gas regulation which is currently enforced in Europe (Third Energy Package, EU Network Codes) in particular focusing on the Balancing and Tariff Network Codes.
The training is primarily targeted at staff from energy utilities, TSOs, banks and representatives from National and European Regulatory Authorities or other public bodies, but also academics and researchers with an interest in gas market regulation.
No specific academic background is required, and professionals of all levels are welcome. Nevertheless, a basic knowledge of energy regulation and policymaking is recommended. The training is provided in English.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
Each year, the Florence School of Regulation – Energy and Climate (FSR Energy & Climate) awards scholarships for a wide variety of training courses targeting a broad audience of professionals and academics.

Send your application by 2 February 2025.
