Course Learning Objectives

T he world is facing an energy crisis that is driven by a reliance on carbon-based fuels, uncertain supply, and environmentally unsustainable energy policies in consuming and producing nations alike. The over-reliance on carbon-based fuels to meet increasing demand not only results in higher energy prices, but rapidly accelerates climate change and threatens the health and quality of life of people and our planet.

This course, Regulating Renewable and Alternative Energy: Using Incentives to Stimulate Investment and New Technologies is designed to assist government policy makers and regulators, as well as the business community design and implement correct policy and regulatory frameworks in order to advance the development of renewable energy practices and investments in sustainable and renewable energy sources that are now economically, technologically, and financially viable.

T hrough practical sessions, case studies, and site visits to “State of the art” facilities, participants will master the knowledge of regulating and stimulating renewable energy practices and investments for use in their own countries and organizations. Participants will be responsible for attending all presentations and site visits, actively participating in discussions, case studies, and group exercises, and complete a strategic Action Plan for to implement upon return to your organization.
