Course Objectives: | In a global perspective, energy policies serve multiple goals, including those of; (a) meeting increasing energy demand, driven in large part by growing populations and rising incomes, (b) satisfying basic needs of about billions of people who suffer badly from inadequate access to usable energy, and (c) responding to the increasing risk of severe environmental damage caused by prevailing patterns of energy production, distribution and consumption. Moreover, energy policies are inextricably linked to geopolitical concerns about energy security and to competition in international markets and international politics. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Identify energy policy knowledge and needs at various governmental and entity levels 2) Describe general terms and basic concepts 3) Examine existing or proposed energy policy critically; expose errors, find unintended consequences of implementation, offer suggestions for improvement 4) Identify the drivers of energy policy from political, environmental, and economic perspectives; and explain how these drivers can exist either in conflict or complement of each other 5) Understand the concept of energy policy and develop strategies to decide on policy. |
Energy policy in Turkey, comparison with Europe, renewable energy and smart grid policies, the future of energy policy, strategy development according to situation. |
