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 course will consist of three offline weeks and one online week. During the three offline weeks (24 October – 13 November 2022), you will be granted access to our e-learning platform, where you can navigate at your own pace to complete the course readings, quizzes and activities.
During the three preparatory weeks, you can manage your time and work as per your schedule, as there are no online live classes except a one-hour introductory meeting that will take place on the first day of the course (Monday, 24 October 2022). The exact time of this introductory meeting will be confirmed soon.
The online week (14-18 November 2022) consists of live classes and expert panels. It will require your participation during a large part of the day from 09:30 to 15.00 CET (usually 2 to 3 classes in the morning + 1-hour lunch break + a panel discussion in the afternoon).
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.
Applications will be assessed by a Selection Committee of FSR members on a yearly basis. The successful candidates will be informed by the end of February 2023 and will be provided with all relevant information on how to enroll in the online course or residential training of their choice.
Send your application by 31 January 2023.
