The course is unique in that it examines the interdependence of the various tools available to address energy access such as the latest technologies available, financial instruments and innovative business models as well as analyses the wider impact energy access has on health, education and overall socio-economic development.
Best course ever. Participated in all sections of forum discussions, finalised all quizzes and the country project on time. I highly appreciate the knowledge transfer and highlights of the challenges we face as developing countries. The country projects will go a long way in changing the policies. implementing and seeing country investment in energy.
I like the course very much for its comprehensive and in-depth discussions on the very topic of universal access to electricity. It is good to have readings which touch upon real stories as well as technical terms so that we can understand crucial concepts better. The many examples are exceptionally useful for people who have little knowledge about the electricity sector, and how a variety of solutions is applied to solve problems in developing countries.
Overally , the course is very informative and educative. It gives a platform to share country experiences of what is transpiring regarding Regulation sustainable development goal 7. The course facilitators did a good job and they were always available to respond to the participants concerns.
I have left the course as a better energy engineer. With more confidence that I can be an effective agent of advancing the goal of access to clean energy for all.
The past five months were full of discovery and great learning opportunities. Grateful to Enel Foundation for the opportunity given to me to take this amazing course offered by the FlorenceSchoolofRegulation. Universal access to energy requires better regulation, and the FSR Energy will stop at nothing than providing the best skills to these game-changers. I can't thank the FSR team enough for the pack of knowledge I gained.
