Capture and act on lessons from incidents and near misses involving demand response and consumption rationalisation.
Demand Response Techniques and Consumption Rationalisation
A concise, decision-focused programme covering demand response and consumption rationalisation end to end.
Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how demand response and consumption rationalisation is controlled. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in consumption rationalisation; it has added to it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations and supervised application. They acquire practical criteria for judging when demand response and consumption rationalisation is working and when it is only appearing to. It concentrates on the parts of this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The level assumes working familiarity with the operating asset but no prior formal training in consumption rationalisation. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting demand response and consumption rationalisation and under-invest in testing it. Comparative studies of consumption rationalisation across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda ready to put in front of a decision maker.
