Course Overview
We must assess what our future energy system will look like. What is the future demand and how will we meet that demand? What are the choices and what will be the key drivers of change?
For our energy system we must investigate how we understand our future energy choices and the role of electricity in the overall future demand profile. We must look at the drivers for energy demand into the future and how these drivers impact the role of expected energy demand across our economy and society.
