Course Description

The sizable investment involved in energy production and distribution requires the adoption of a systematic and rigorous approach to the construction and evaluation of the business case. This course aims to provide students with an insight into the context in which energy projects emerge and exist, the roles of the different parties involved in the building of a business case, the approach used in generating the business care and the decision criteria used by organisations in their decisions to initiate and develop energy projects. The course also introduces students to important elements in negotiation.
