Lecture hours per week (SWS):
Lecturer:
Course Language: English
Prerequisites:
Profound business and energy management knowledge
Qualification objectives:
Through this course, the students should acquire knowledge on selected current and relevant topics in the energy industry and experience examples of how companies deal with these challenges, i.e. how they shape the transition. The aim is to give the students a deeper understanding of the economic effects of the “energy transition”, especially through the keynote lectures with their practical relevance.
Course contents:
The “energy transition” is being accompanied by a complex transformation and eruption in the energy industry, which is leading to permanent new challenges. The framework conditions under energy law are becoming increasingly complex, and the energy markets are changing rapidly. The players in the energy industry have to redesign customer relationships and increasingly digitalized processes and create successful business models. Established energy companies also recognize that their employees must be empowered to be able to cope with the (market) requirements and challenges of the future. In a de-materialized, digitalized world, the size of energy companies is no longer an advantage per se – rather, speed, creativity, and adaptability are a competitive advantage.
