Good governance starts with a well-functioning board of directors at the heart of a company’s corporate governance framework. It is crucial to ensure all other governance components are working effectively. For example, the East African energy (Electricity and Petroleum) sectors have undergone significant restructuring over the decades. Various programs have triggered this development to liberalise and restructure to promote competition and enhance effective regulation.

Therefore, this course will cover the fundamental concepts of competitive electricity markets, Oil and Gas markets, regulation, design of both petroleum and electricity markets and the EAC Energy Union concept. Additionally, the executives will learn about oversight, risk governance and etiquette.

The Energy Executive training is based on a  comprehensive curriculum aimed at helping participants build in-depth knowledge in energy, leadership skills, a strategic mindset, global vision, etiquette and professional networks.
