Course Description
The Electricity Industry forms an essential part of our daily lives. From our alarm clock going off in the morning, to our phone being fully charged, our televisions and our kettles – we rely on electricity on a constant basis.
Climate Change and Net Zero targets have added an additional focus to the electricity sector. The public is now far more vocal in its views on where our electricity comes from (is it dirty, polluting coal plants, or is my home supplied by renewable energy?)
The purpose of this training course is to inform readers of some of the key areas of the electricity sector in Great Britain.
The course is split into three sections:
Fundamentals of Electricity:
What is Electricity?
