Training on Energy Transition Policy and Strategic Planning
Course Overview
The global energy sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by climate change commitments, technological innovation, energy security concerns, changing investment priorities, and the transition to low-carbon economies. Governments, energy regulators, National Oil Companies (NOCs), utilities, financial institutions, and private sector organizations must develop strategic policies that balance economic growth, energy affordability, environmental sustainability, and national competitiveness. Effective energy transition planning enables countries to diversify energy systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, attract sustainable investment, strengthen resilience, and achieve long-term development goals while maintaining reliable energy supplies.
This course equips participants with practical knowledge and policy tools to design and implement effective energy transition strategies. Participants learn how to formulate national energy policies, develop decarbonization roadmaps, evaluate renewable energy integration, strengthen energy security, design carbon reduction strategies, promote sustainable financing, manage transition risks, and support workforce transformation. The course also explores net-zero planning, hydrogen economies, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), energy market reforms, climate finance, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration, digital technologies, and strategic planning for resilient energy systems.
Participants examine internationally recognized frameworks and best practices, including the Paris Agreement, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), International Energy Agency (IEA) Net Zero Roadmap, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB IFRS S2), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems, and guidance from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Through policy analysis, energy scenario planning, investment assessments, stakeholder engagement exercises, and real-world case studies, participants develop the expertise to lead strategic energy transitions that strengthen energy security, promote sustainable economic growth, and support climate commitments.
