Course Description


This course introduces students to the Economics of Energy at the micro level. It is geared to providing the basic knowledge and introductory skills required as the foundation for research in the area of energy analysis and policy. It will cover themes such as:

  • Energy Statistics

  • The demand for and supply of renewable and non-renewable energy , i.e. fossil fuels (viz. crude oil, natural gas, coal ), electricity and renewables. In terms of supply, the course will cover the issues associated with the exploration, production, transportation, processing or refining and marketing of fossil fuels and production of renewable energy

  • Energy pricing and markets ,

  • Introduction to Energy and the Economics of the Environment


Purpose of the Course


It is designed to introduce students to basic energy issues, and to allow them to better understand the energy business and introduce students to the tools required for energy analysis and provide its microeconomic foundations

Dear Student,

Welcome to Energy Economics I. In this course we seek to provide you with the tools required for energy analysis at the micro level. We will cover a fair amount of material but be assured that the outcomes are rewarding. I expect that your views on energy issues will change as you come to a greater appreciation for the role of energy in our lives. Treat the course as a learning opportunity and do enjoy the experience.

Michael John

Content


In order to appreciate the issues involved in the economics of the Supply and Demand for energy, it is necessary to commence with an understanding of Energy Statistics. While there are some similarities with other economic statistics, there are significant differences and practices. With this foundation it is possible to address the issues associated with Energy Markets including those for renewable energy. Finally we will examine the economics of Energy’s impact on the environment and selected policy responses.

Goals/Aims


To provide students with the analytical tools to facilitate the overall understanding of the energy sector.

General Objectives



At the end of the course students should:

  • Have a greater awareness of the micro issues associated with energy

  • Appreciate the critical contribution of energy to our domestic economy

  • Appreciate the role of the energy industry in the global economy

Themes/Topic and Unit Objectives

Assignments


Tutorials Students will be expected to prepare and present tutorial questions as well as participate in tutorial discussion when colleagues are presenting.

Other Assignments- In addition, students will complete three assignments to be graded by the lecturer during the semester. The first -an Essay provides an opportunity to practice the analysis of industry issues. The second -a mid-term Examination designed to indicate the extent of mastery of the first half of the course. The final assignment – a problem sheet will provide practice in the simple quantitative issues covered during the semester. For Due Dates for assignments see the Class calendar below.

Course Assessment

Assessment is designed to establish the student understanding of the material and the ability to critically examine energy matters and issues. Students will be assessed on the following basis:



Course Work 40%

  • Course Work Mid-Term Examination : 20 %

  • Course Work Essay Unit 3: 10% (5% essay, 5% essay presentation in tutorial)

  • Course Problem Sheet : 10 %

Final Examination: 60 %. This examination will be two hours long and consist of five essay questions of which students will be required to select three questions.

Evaluation



Students are encouraged to communicate with the lecturer and Teaching Assistant on challenges being experienced in the course as well as to provide feedback on how their experience can be improved and enhanced. In addition the lecturer will solicit feedback from the Teaching Assistant on student Tutorial performances. Structured Post lecture feedback by students will be encouraged.

Teaching Strategies

Students will have three (3) contact hours for weekly.


  • Lectures - Wednesday (EU), 5.30-7.30p.m. (TCB 3.1 )

  • Tutorials- Tuesday 6.00 -7.00 p.m. (FSS 102 E)

  • Wednesday 1.00-2.00 p.m. (SAC FL 18)

Lectures will be delivered with the aid of power point presentations. Student participation will be encouraged and students are advised to read assigned material before the scheduled class, so that they can participate meaningfully in the class and tutorial discussion. Tutorial attendance is mandatory.

Faculty regulations allow for debarment from the Final Examination in the case of students who do not attend at least 75% of tutorial classes. The Course Lecturers and tutors will be monitoring and subsequently enforcing this regulation
