Power sector regulation is never at a rest! This is particularly true today, as power systems face the toughest challenges since their creation: the energy transition. Both developed and emerging economies need to implement adequate regulation to address issues such as de-carbonisation, integration of renewable energy, and the integration of ever bigger markets. High-quality knowledge will be needed to respond to these challenges.
To support the energy transition in emerging economies, the FSR is offering 10 scholarships to highly motivated candidates from low or lower-middle-income countries for its online course on the Regulation of the Power Sector.
