    Content of Learning Activity

    This teaching unit will be presented in English and composed of 4 main parts. Firstly, the current energy transition will be detailed from a geopolitic point of view and will settle the course by emphasizing on the major importance of markets in a stretched environmental context. Then, chapters 2 and 3 will respectively focus on fossil resources as well as electricity markets. Some practical examples relative to those markets will be provided and will allow to introduce optimization problems with a gradual complexity. More specifically, the history of the main economic changes dealing with the management of electricity resources since the second world war will be drawn. Important theoretical notions of economic regulation will afterwards be introduced with some illustrative examples. Indeed, actually, markets are controlled by independent regulators whose objective is to ensure a "perfect" competition and a "fair" energy cost for everyone (with related optimization problems). Finally, a last chapter will explore possible future exchange platforms (bitcoins, peer-to-peer trading, cooperative mechanisms...).
