Energy Markets for Executives

About the Course

This programme develops a working approach to energy markets for executives in the context of commercial energy decisions. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on market structure, price drivers and strategic decisions. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.

Course Objectives

• Explain the role of market structure and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
• Use a structured worksheet to examine price drivers and compare reasonable alternatives.
• Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to strategic decisions.
• Prepare a comparison of price, delivered cost, value and risk for discussion with a transaction team.
• Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.

Who Can Benefit

• Executives and business-unit leaders: apply market structure to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
• Strategy and investment-screening teams: apply price drivers to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
• Managers entering energy-sector responsibilities: apply strategic decisions to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
