Course Summary

LDCs must continually adapt to new and evolving government policies and regulatory requirements. This two-day module explores current regulatory challenges and creative solutions available to address them, including IRM and other regulatory applications.

Building on the material covered in Modules 1 and 2, participants gain an in-depth understanding of advanced regulatory issues facing LDCs today. The module uses case studies and practical exercises to further develop participants’ expertise and applied understanding.

MEARIE’s Regulatory Specialist Certificate program is unique in the province. The program begins with a review of the principles of economic regulation and builds toward an in-depth understanding of how and why regulation is implemented in Ontario using case studies on specialized topics.

The program is delivered in three two-day modules:

Introduction to Economic Regulation (Module 1)
Cost of Service Re-basing (Module 2)
Advanced Regulatory Topics (Module 3)

Participants may register for one or more modules. Those who successfully complete all three modules receive MEARIE’s Regulatory Specialist Certificate.
