ContentLearning GoalsThe student,understands the business model of a network operator and knows its central tasks in the energy supply system,has a holistic overview of the interrelationships in the network economy,understands the regulatory and business interactions,is in particular familiar with the current model of incentive regulation with its essential components and understands its implications for the decisions of a network operatoris able to analyse and assess controversial issues from the perspective of different stakeholders.Content of teachingThe lecture “Energy Networks and Regulation” provides insights into the regulatory framework of electricity and gas. It touches upon the way the grids are operated and how regulation affects almost all grid activities. The lecture also addresses approaches of grid companies to cope with regulation on a managerial level. We analyze how the system influences managerial decisions and strategies such as investment or maintenance. Furthermore, we discuss how the system affects the operator’s abilities to deal with the massive challenges lying ahead (“Energiewende”, redispatch, European grid integration, electric vehicles etc.). Finally, we look at current developments and major upcoming challenges, e.g., the smart meter rollout. Covered topics include:Grid operation as a heterogeneous landscape: big vs. small, urban vs. rural, TSO vs. DSOObjectives of regulation: Fair price calculation and high standard access conditionsThe functioning of incentive regulationFirst major amendment to the incentive regulation: its merits, its flawsThe revenue cap and how it is adjusted according to certain exogenous factorsGrid tariffs: How are they calculated, what is the underlying rationale, do we need a reform (and which)?Exogenous costs shifted (arbitrarily?) into the grid, e.g. feed-in tariffs for renewable energy or decentralized supply.Language of instructionGermanBibliographyLinnemann, M.
