Master 2 EEET

M2 – Energy Economics

Presentation of the course

The objective of the “Energy Economics” course is to address all issues related to the energy transition by mobilizing multidisciplinary analyses but with an economic prism. Key analyses are proposed to understand the challenges, constraints and issues that energy sectors encounter in their development and/or evolution

The lessons of the course cover:

  • fundamental aspects of economics (microeconomics, macroeconomics);
  • statistical and operational research methods (advanced econometrics, optimization applied to energy);
  • the geopolitics of energy;
  • industrial energy economics;
  • project management and financing;
  • energy and climate

Who can apply for the M2 course?

  • Students who have validated the M1 of the EEET specialization or an M1 in economics with a quantitative, finance or applied mathematics dimension.
  • Students with a bac +4 level acquired in an Ecole Normale Supérieure, an Engineering School, a Business School or any French or foreign training deemed equivalent by the jury are also admitted.

M1 candidates are admitted to one of the M2 courses, but not necessarily to their first choice, in particular if the maximum number of students for the “Energy Economics” course are reached.

Admitted candidates from a scientific or engineering background are offered reinforcement in economics while other candidates are offered reinforcement in statistics and mathematics according to their needs.

An admission interview to assess motivation for energy issues, and particularly energy transition and the professional project could be offered to candidates pre-selected on file.

What skills are developed during the course?

  • Respond quickly, using economic analysis and mathematical modeling tools, to a complex problem related to the energy sector.
  • Know how to apply project management tools for the framing, development and monitoring of an energy project.
  • Carry out and communicate on technical and economic studies necessary to define and establish an energy transition policy and/or strategy.
  • Put into practice financing mechanisms and risk management to assess the economic and financial profitability of an energy project.
  • Develop a critical mind to analyze ideas and projects implemented as part of the energy transition.
  • Master the tools and methods necessary for research in environmental economics in order to prepare a thesis.

What are the career opportunities for the training?

This training allows students to occupy the following jobs:

  • project manager in the various energy sectors;
  • developer of renewable energy projects;
  • strategic and financial advisor in an energy company;
  • business engineer in a company offering integrated energy services;
  • research and development officer;
  • project manager. technical-economic, strategic, environmental studies;
  • responsible for managing consumption flows (water, energy) in a company or local authority;
  • engineer/economist in an energy company, a design office, a local authority, a government agency or an international organization;
  • expert in environmental issues related to energy with national or international institutions;
  • researcher (if pursuing a thesis).

A follow-up of graduate students is carried out at the end of the training and the survey return rate indicates a hiring rate of over 95% more than 1 year after the training.
