Course Overview:
Robust energy systems and infrastructure require robust frameworks that clearly delineate the specifics of each element in the energy supply chain. This course is designed to provide clarity in the Licensing Rules for Activities in the Energy Sector, focusing on understanding licensing requirements as national regulatory authorities are supposed to define them.
The course covers compliance with law requirements, and power trading activities in general with associated infrastructure. The course will comprehensively introduce an understanding of the appropriately dimensioned network infrastructure that must be available to maintain a secure electricity supply and explore the construction of electricity supply infrastructure which has an ultimate effect on both public and private interests.
The candidates will understand the corresponding licensing procedures for all applicable electrical systems and facilities (spatial coordination and planning approval procedures) form an integral part of the network development process defined in the applicable legislation.
