Purposes and Objectives:
The Summer School is jointly implemented by ERRA and the Central European University (CEU) provides the technical, economic and legal skills that are needed to design and manage successful regulatory systems for the electric power industry.
The course focus on three major modules:
-
Basic Economics of Regulation;
-
Tariff and Pricing Issues;
-
Licensing and Competition Issues
in a level of depth that met the professional needs of staff in regulatory commissions.
Faculty Team and Course Design:
The Course is facilitated by the Regional Center for Energy Policy Research (REKK) led by Prof. Peter Kaderjak, Director of REKK, former Chairman of ERRA and President of the Hungarian Energy Office, Professor at the Corvinus University of Budapest.
Instructors of the course are practicing energy regulators with significant and noteworthy regulatory experience and expertise. The course is designed to assure the transfer of practices and information from experienced regulators to new or young regulatory staff. At the same time, the course ensures that practices and lessons accumulated by energy regulators of the Central-Eastern European region are transferred to recently established organizations of other European regions.
Target Audience:
Originally the target audience of the summer school was junior and newer regulatory commissioners/staff of ERRA members who are current and future policy makers in their countries.
As of 2007 the course is open to non ERRA Member energy regulatory authorities and non-regulators as well such as ministry and local government representatives, banking institutions, law and investment firms, consulting companies and regulated utility companies.
Tuition Fees:
-
ERRA Members Euro 1,000*
-
Non-members Euro 1,500*
-
Non-regulators Euro 2,000*
*Tuition fee includes accommodation for 5 nights, lunches and coffee breaks during the course.
Organization of the course is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with limited additional funding from the Central European University (CEU).
