Electricity impacts every facet of our lives and quite literally powers every policy area — from economic development and security to housing and healthcare.
For many of us, electricity is such a fundamental part of our lives that we almost forget it's there.
This course explains what electricity systems are. We’ll cover how power gets from a wind turbine in the sea to the lamp next to your bed, who’s involved in the process and how electricity prices are set.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Outline the key parts of the electricity system
Explain how energy markets work
Reflect on what it means for your work
Have meaningful and informed conversations with colleagues
