ERRA-CEU Summer School on Energy Regulatory Practices 21-25 July 2003 Budapest, Hungary
Supported by the United States Download Course Schedule in English or Russian here Energy regulatory authorities have been set up in Central-Eastern Europe and in the Commonwealth of the Independent States over the past years as one of the fundamental elements of democracy and market economy. It is a new phenomenon in many countries and these institutions often struggle with lack of appropriate and transferable experience. A training needs assessment prepared by the Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA) showed that economic and financial skills are central to the administrative and economic regulation of the public utilities. Professional development in energy regulation requires a working knowledge of regulatory economics, an understanding of policy impacts and the ability to navigate national policy processes, and effective agency management of the legal and organizational processes necessary for adequate "due-process" protection in regulatory activities. In addition, training programs must take into account local conditions and national values as well as the increasing movements toward regional markets and expanded trade in electricity, which are moving nations into more compatible, harmonized regulatory arrangements. With this course, ERRA would like promote better regulatory practices in ERRA member countries as well as across the region as specific regional markets develop. ERRA members have created training materials to provide the technical, economic and legal skills that are needed to design and manage successful regulatory systems for the electric power industry. The course will focus on three major modules: Basic Economics of Regulation; Tariff and Pricing Issues; Licensing and Competition Issues in a level of depth that meets the professional needs of staff in regulatory commissions. The design of the summer program is based on a peer-type of cooperation. Instructors of the course are practising energy regulators with significant and noteworthy regulatory experience and expertise. The course is designed to assure the transfer of practises and information from experienced regulators to new or young regulatory staff. At the same time, the course ensures that practises and lessons accumulated by energy regulators of the Central-Eastern European region are transferred to recently established organizations of other regions. The course is jointly supported by the Central European University and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Additional support was provided by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners of the United States.
