Course Objectives | There are several factors such as technology, economics, social changes, geopolitical shifts, progress of energy systems, climate change and environmental issues have influenced the design of energy policy. Together with these factors, new policy instruments, approaches as well as tools have emerged to design a sustainable energy policy for countries. Hence, this course will explore how energy policies are planned and implemented in a sustainable fashion. Harvard Business Cases will be used in this course.Therefore, the main aim of this course is to present a framework to comprehend sustainable energy policy planning and decision making for countries. |
