The African School of Regulation (ASR) aims to be a centre of excellence for independent discussion and knowledge exchange with the purpose of improving the quality of African energy regulation and policy.
Motivation
The transition to a sustainable energy model in Africa – including universal access and climate change, as well as the growing presence of decentralized energy resources in the midst of a much-needed industrialisation process – requires new approaches to policy, regulation, technology, innovation and the skills to achieve this goal. Education in these matters is urgently needed to address these challenges in a wide range of fields across the electricity, clean cooking and heating value chains.
Regulation stands out as an applied field of knowledge – blending engineering, economics, and law – which is essential to guide the African countries in designing and implementing this transition.
