Why This Program
Most countries have the need to reduce their CO2 emissions while increasing energy supply security. This calls for an increasing reliance on local renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures to control demand. This will cause a paradigm shift in the way final energy is generated and consumed. This will require regulatory adaptation that, in turn, will generate risks and opportunities for businesses along the value chain of all energy sectors. Steering energy companies will become increasingly complex and will require C-level executives to acquire a global understanding of the increasingly decentralized and integrated energy system.
Many forward-looking companies turn to leading technology institutes for expertise and trend insights, while also engaging their employees in the learning environments of international research hubs. Equipped with fresh knowledge and inspired by global innovation, R&D, and technology, these employees can, in turn, spark new innovations within their own companies.
Objective
This executive course aims at discussing and assessing risk, challenges and business opportunities along the transition to a decentralized energy system and identifying best-practices to ensure wide public acceptance and harmonious deployment of novel generation, storage and smart grid technologies needed to meet key policy objectives such as decarbonization and increased supply security.
Empowering Leaders in the Energy Transition
The Energy Center at EPFL offers a customized executive course designed to help leaders navigate the risks, challenges, and business opportunities of the transition to a decentralized energy system. The program explores best practices to ensure public acceptance and the successful deployment of novel generation, storage, and smart grid technologies that are essential to meeting key policy objectives such as decarbonization and supply security. Focused on the technical, economic, social, regulatory, and policy dimensions of this paradigm shift, the course can provide a broad overview of the energy transition or dive into specific topics such as solar energy, energy storage, hydrogen fuel, building energy transition, grid evolution, or energy mobility. Each program is tailor-made to meet the needs of your company or group of companies.
Who Should Attend
This program is designed for senior executives, policymakers, decision-makers, and professionals working across the energy sector, including utilities, grid operators, technology providers, regulatory agencies, and financial institutions.
