The Master in the Electric Power Industry responds to the need to update the training of professionals in the electricity sector and those recent graduates who want to access it, to cope with regulatory and technological changes.
The profound regulatory changes of recent years have given rise to organised electricity markets (generation and commercialisation) and the need to design or adapt the regulation of these and other businesses, such as transmission and distribution. In addition, the electricity sector is undergoing significant technological changes (renewable energy sources, active demand-side management, development of smart grids, etc.).
Starting from a basic training in engineering (or, with an additional effort, in other disciplines), students will gain in-depth knowledge of the economic, regulatory and technological foundations of the new business areas, and will acquire direct experience of their application through a tutored personal project - the Master's Thesis - in institutions and companies in the sector or at the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT).
