Energy Governance

Students learn about what the relevant aspects are to consider related to energy governance. Governance is the process of making and enforcing decisions within an organization or society. Governance has a significant impact on the organization of the energy markets, and students will be introduced to the latest developments of markets for electricity, gas, hydrogen and district heating. Furthermore, students will become acquainted with the interaction between innovation (e.g. technological) and business models. Students will also analyze the different administrative levels (e.g. European, national, regional) from a legal and economic perspective. Furthermore, a brief introduction into corporate governance will be included.

In the first period students will learn about energy law and economic regulation. They will learn to analyze the different value chains and business models and will learn the skill of market mapping. The second period students will work at EnTranCe, the Centre of Expertise – Energy of Hanze University of Groningen, where multidisciplinary research takes places on the latest technologies. This is a hotspot for innovative companies, system operators, municipalities, researchers, and professors. Students will work on legal and economic issues based on real life questions. This results in the ability of solving multilevel governance issues.
