21 units

Faculty of Arts

The course provides participants with a working knowledge on the functioning of electricity markets in Alberta(from generation down to retail) and its regulatory framework. Well-functioning electricity markets are crucial to every aspect of our society, as a reliable electricity supply is essential to meet consumers' and industrial needs. Electricity generation, capacity management, electricity pricing, and delivery are inherently complex processes, which, further, must adjust for policies aiming to mitigate the effect of climate change and technological advances.
