Philip spent two weeks at the North China Electric Power University, at the invitation of Professor Zhou Feng’ao, Director of the Beijing Energy Development Centre. This Centre was founded three years ago with the aim of becoming an inter-disciplinary centre for expertise in energy law and policy, undertaking research, post-graduate teaching and advisory services.
Philip gave a five-lecture course on energy policy to about 25 post-graduate students and staff from the Schools of Humanities and Social Science and of Business Administration, and gave a seminar to the University Research Forum entitled “The institutions of energy governance in China, and implications for a transition to a low carbon economy”.
