Course Learning Objectives

For developing and emerging market economies alike, adequate electricity and water supplies continue to be a key factor in determining the pace of economic growth. To ensure these supplies and plan for the future, countries will require effective models for meeting the challenges of new supply, climate change and balanced costs.

In this training course titled Advanced Issues in Regulating Electric and Water Utilities, participants will learn a number of advanced tools, techniques and models to regulate both public and private electric and water utilities that generate/source, transmit and distribute electricity/water services. Participants will acquire skills in increasing the effectiveness of resource acquisition, efficiency gains, environmental mandates, strategies to increase market confidence and implementing consumer protection programs.

Through presentations, case studies, simulated exercises and on-site meetings with leading electricity and water regulatory authorities and utilities, participants will gain new knowledge and skills and bring these to bear in developing their own plan of action for the management for regulatory commissions in their own countries.
