WHY ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM?
Asset n° 1
One of the most recognized training courses in France by bringing together the major players in the Ile-de-France region of the environmental economy
Asset n°2
A multidisciplinary training combining theoretical economics, applied economics, modelling, data processing, management sciences and political science
Asset n°3
A training that brings together students with diverse profiles (engineers, economists, biologists) and a very large community of alumni well established in the economic world, in public action and in research
The Energy Economics course aims to address all issues related to the energy transition by mobilizing multidisciplinary analyses but with a prism of the economy. Key analyses are proposed to understand the challenges, constraints and problems encountered by the energy sectors in their development and/or evolution.
The courses of the course focus on:
- The fundamental aspects of economics (microeconomics, macroeconomics);
- Statistical and operational research methods (advanced econometrics, optimization applied to energy);
- The geopolitics of energy;
- The industrial economy of energy;
- Project management and financing;
- Energy and climate
Objectives
- Respond with responsiveness, by mobilizing economic analysis and mathematical modeling tools, to a complex problem related to the energy sector
- Know how to apply project management tools for the framing, development and monitoring of an energy project
- Carry out and communicate on the technical and economic studies necessary to define and establish an energy transition policy and/or strategy
- Apply financing mechanisms and risk management to assess the economic and financial profitability of energy projects
- Develop a critical mind to analyse the ideas and projects implemented in the context of the energy transition
- Master the tools and methods necessary for research in environmental economics in order to prepare a thesis
This training allows students to hold the following jobs:
- Project manager in the various energy sectors
- Manager of renewable energy projects development
- Strategic and financial advisor at an energy company
- Business engineer in a company offering integrated energy services
- Research and Development Officer
- Technical-economic, strategic, environmental studies officer • Responsible for the management of the flows consumed (water, energy) in a company or a local authority
- Engineer/economist in an energy company, a design office, a local authority, a government agency or an international organization;
- Expert in energy-related environmental issues with national or international institutions;
- Research (if pursuing a PhD).
