 TRAINING PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
1st-3rd September 2021
In designing and implementing robust regulation, there are no one-size-fits-all formulae for every element to achieve targeted, sustainable development. Moreover, it has emerged that each country differs in its level of competition, liberalisation, substance and governance. Â Therefore, this training provides a guideline or a model with practical examples by which institutions can learn from other jurisdictions where effective regulation and policy formulation have been achieved and provide roadmaps on how we can achieve effective regulation.
A lively discussion on dynamic regulation, how to ensure regulation anticipates and, as appropriate, adapts to market evolutions, how to regulate an industry/network with potentially continuing reduced energy volumes and more intermittent sources, how to move from static regulation to more dynamic regulation and how to regulate infrastructure for different purposes.
