The course goes far beyond \u201chaving an informed opinion\u201d on regulatory issues. It is designed with the practical objective of \u201clearning the trade\u201d of regulatory practice, at a level that can be achieved throughout the course. The course will provide a solid platform to build later with specialised training on different topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course consists of two parts: the first is online; the second is in person and lasts one week. In the online and main part of the course, participants will learn the regulatory principles that apply to the several activities involved in the delivery and utilisation of electricity and their implementation in the African power sector context. The course will end with an optional in-person week devoted to the analysis of practical cases of application of the material covered during the online part of the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-esab-accordion esab-3j2ut19r\" data-mode=\"global\"><div class=\"esab__container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-esab-accordion-child\"><div class=\"esab__head\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"esab__heading_txt\"><p class=\"esab__heading_tag\">What you will learn<\/p><\/div><div class=\"esab__icon\"><div class=\"esab__collapse\"> <svg version=\"1.2\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"m3.5 20.5c-4.7-4.7-4.7-12.3 0-17 4.7-4.7 12.3-4.7 17 0 4.6 4.7 4.6 12.3 0 17-4.7 4.6-12.3 4.6-17 0zm0.9-0.9c4.2 4.2 11 4.2 15.2 0 4.2-4.2 4.2-11 0-15.2-4.2-4.3-11-4.3-15.2 0-4.3 4.2-4.3 11 0 15.2z\"><\/path><path d=\"m11.4 15.9v-3.3h-3.3c-0.3 0-0.6-0.3-0.6-0.6 0-0.4 0.3-0.6 0.6-0.6h3.3v-3.3c0-0.3 0.3-0.6 0.6-0.6 0.3 0 0.6 0.3 0.6 0.6v3.3h3.3c0.3 0 0.6 0.2 0.6 0.6q0 0.2-0.2 0.4-0.2 0.2-0.4 0.2h-3.3v3.3q0 0.2-0.2 0.4-0.2 0.2-0.4 0.2c-0.4 0-0.6-0.3-0.6-0.6z\"><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><div class=\"esab__expand\"> <svg version=\"1.2\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"m12 24c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12 0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12 6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12 0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12zm10.6-12c0-5.9-4.7-10.6-10.6-10.6-5.9 0-10.6 4.7-10.6 10.6 0 5.9 4.7 10.6 10.6 10.6 5.9 0 10.6-4.7 10.6-10.6z\"><\/path><path d=\"m5.6 11.3h12.8v1.4h-12.8z\"><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"esab__body\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Core principles of power sector regulation, tailored to the African context<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electricity transmission and distribution\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large-scale generation of electricity: From centralized planning to wholesale markets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current policy issues in the development of the energy sector in Africa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An introduction to the course by the Course Director, Prof. Ignacio P\u00e9rez-Arriaga:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Regulation of the African Power sector Course - An introduction by Ignacio P\u00e9rez-Arriaga. by African School of Regulation\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1712026593&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-esab-accordion-child\"><div class=\"esab__head\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"esab__heading_txt\"><p class=\"esab__heading_tag\">Course Overview<\/p><\/div><div class=\"esab__icon\"><div class=\"esab__collapse\"> <svg version=\"1.2\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"m3.5 20.5c-4.7-4.7-4.7-12.3 0-17 4.7-4.7 12.3-4.7 17 0 4.6 4.7 4.6 12.3 0 17-4.7 4.6-12.3 4.6-17 0zm0.9-0.9c4.2 4.2 11 4.2 15.2 0 4.2-4.2 4.2-11 0-15.2-4.2-4.3-11-4.3-15.2 0-4.3 4.2-4.3 11 0 15.2z\"><\/path><path d=\"m11.4 15.9v-3.3h-3.3c-0.3 0-0.6-0.3-0.6-0.6 0-0.4 0.3-0.6 0.6-0.6h3.3v-3.3c0-0.3 0.3-0.6 0.6-0.6 0.3 0 0.6 0.3 0.6 0.6v3.3h3.3c0.3 0 0.6 0.2 0.6 0.6q0 0.2-0.2 0.4-0.2 0.2-0.4 0.2h-3.3v3.3q0 0.2-0.2 0.4-0.2 0.2-0.4 0.2c-0.4 0-0.6-0.3-0.6-0.6z\"><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><div class=\"esab__expand\"> <svg version=\"1.2\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"m12 24c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12 0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12 6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12 0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12zm10.6-12c0-5.9-4.7-10.6-10.6-10.6-5.9 0-10.6 4.7-10.6 10.6 0 5.9 4.7 10.6 10.6 10.6 5.9 0 10.6-4.7 10.6-10.6z\"><\/path><path d=\"m5.6 11.3h12.8v1.4h-12.8z\"><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"esab__body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objective of this course on \u201cPower Sector Regulation in Africa\u201d is to provide a comprehensive overview and a sound understanding of the fundamentals of power sector regulation in the diverse contexts of African countries.

The course will provide a solid platform on which to build later with specialised training on different topics. The power sector in many African countries presents unique challenges that require distinctive solutions, not by copying and pasting international best practices, but by creatively adapting them or inventing new ones, always starting from the basic principles of economic regulation and an understanding of the engineering aspects of this complex industry.
