Discover what this course is all about

Fundamentals

Covers basics, objectives, principles, and limits of energy network regulation and its necessity.

Technology

Explains regulatory mechanisms and economic incentives affecting costs, quality, investments, and network use.

Applications

Analyzes real-world regulation practices in Europe and their impact on efficiency and renewable integration.

What you´ll explore

  • Monopoly theory and its implications for regulation.

  • Competition law and regulation (general vs. specific competition policy).

  • Types of regulation: Principles of access regulation and pricing; Unbundling approaches in the EU and Germany; cost-based regulation; incentive regulation.

  • Regulatory practice in Germany and the EU: History; current incentive regulation (regulation formulas); analytical cost modeling used by regulators; benchmarking approaches, yardstick regulation.

  • Investment incentives and programs, particularly with respect to the challenges of renewable resources use.

  • Management of bottlenecks in the European transmission network.

  • Nodal pricing.

 

 

Your key takeaways

  • get an overview of economic regulation and natural monopoles.

  • learn the particular issues of electricity network regulation.

  • learn the concept of efficient spatial pricing and the practical approaches to congestion pricing in electricity networks.
