ECON 3067: Energy Economics 1
Course Description This course introduces students to the Economics of Energy at the micro level. It will cover themes such as: 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

[8] Assignments Students will complete three assignments 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
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.
Teaching Strategies Students will have three (3) contact hours for weekly.
Lectures - Wednesday (EU), 5.30-&.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 the Course Lecturer to debar from the Final Examination students who do not attend at least 75% of tutorial classes. The Course Lecturers and tutors will be monitoring and subsequently enforcing this regulation
