Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

This 4-hour course (delivered as a single 4 hour session for face-to-face learning or as two separate 2-hour sessions for online VLE) is targeted at policy makers, regulatory analysts, modellers working on GB energy costs, public affairs and press officers that require a comprehensive understanding of:

• How non-energy costs are passed through to household and business consumers in their gas and electricity bills.
• How non-commodity (e.g., anything that is not related to the wholesale cost of gas and electricity) costs find their way on to customer’s energy bills.
• An explanation of the principles for passing through costs to consumers associated with energy networks, government policy schemes and other initiatives embedded in the gas and electricity markets in GB. Our experts will set out how costs feature in a customer’s unit rate or standing charge, which customers may be exempt from some charges, how costs change over time and the outlook for these important elements of a customer’s bill.

The online session delivers a mix of lecture-style learning, case studies and worked examples to reinforce learning.
