Course Description
Electricity markets across Europe have changed dramatically over the last decade as market liberalisation, privatisation, structural change and changing power generation dynamics have replaced the status quo of European energy. The change continues with ongoing moves for further market liberalisation and competition cases against a number of major European energy companies. The change continues with legislation for further market liberalization, market coupling, and ongoing competition cases. Major issues remain with harmonization, transportation access, security of supply, supply competition, unbundling, renewables and the environment.
Course Aims
The EU electricity markets course provides a review of power markets across Europe, examining the practical extent of liberalisation, and the challenges and changes facing these markets. The course reviews the likely impact of further liberalisation and changing market dynamics, and assesses the strategy of key players in the European energy market.
