2 INTRODUCTION With the worldwide cost of energy continuing to rise, energy use is set to play an ever more critical part in the region s economy. Due to the high regional cost of energy, some renewable energy and energy efficient technologies are already economically viable. Face-to-face teaching of graduate level renewable energy courses at the Cave Hill campus As the drive towards the use of cleaner, more sustainable energy technologies gathers pace, it makes sense for companies and institutions across the region to employ or develop in-house energy specialists. Cave Hill s Renewable Energy Management MSc programme has been offered full-time (15 months) and part-time (27 months) since Throughout this period it has drawn on regional and international expertise to build a strong teaching capacity in the field of sustainable energy use. In an effort to widen the access to our extensive and ever-increasing knowledge base, we are now offering our carefully tailored MSc programme courses on an individual basis, allowing busy professionals a flexible alternative to full-time on-campus study. This document describes the courses that are available, when they will become available, the cost, the eligibility requirements and the registration process.

7 Energy Economics (RNEM6010) Students will receive basic insights into the field of energy economics. They will learn about the different markets supplying energy and the different sectors demanding energy. An understanding of the limitations of non-renewable energy sources, and the problems of their substitution by renewable energy sources, will be gained. The special aspects of grid based energy markets will be discussed. At the end of the course each student should be able to understand the basic concepts of the different energy markets and the possible contributions of the different energy sources to a sustainable energy supply. Lecturer: Professor Olav Hohmeyer Olav Hohmeyer is Professor of energy economics at the University of Flensburg and is the lead author of a number of reports from the Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change (IPCC). His main research focus is on sustainable energy systems based on 100% renewable energy sources and the development of local and national climate change mitigation strategies with the aim of full climate neutrality of human activities. Public Policy for renewable energy and OESH (RNEM6030) The focus of this course is to develop an understanding of the complex, dynamic and delicate relationship between business pursuits, public interests and public policy. This area is often seen as a barrier to the implementation and uptake of renewable energy resources and is currently an area of major focus across the Caribbean and further afield. Lecturer: Dr Ksenia Chmutina Originally from Russia, and with experience of working in China, Dr Chmutina is currently based at Loughborough University in the UK where she specialises in resilience, sustainability and energy policy.
