Economic gas regulation plays a pivotal role in ensuring efficient market operation, fair pricing, investment stability, and consumer protection within the natural gas sector. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of gas regulation, including market structures, regulatory objectives, cost-of-service methodologies, tariff design, benchmarking, and performance-based regulation.
Participants will explore how regulatory policies influence gas utilities, transmission networks, LNG value chains, upstream developments, and end-user pricing.
