Lessons learned from the Westmill Wind Farm and Solar Park
Earlier this year, students from the MSc in Energy Management specialisation visited Westmill Wind Farm and Solar Park – the first 100% community-owned onshore wind farm and solar park in the south of England. The field trip provided participants with key insights into wind and solar technology, the electricity-generation process, operational challenges and benefits, and whether policies support the growth of wind and solar.
The site was the vision of Adam Twine (landowner and farmer), who was inspired by a trip to Denmark where 20% of the country’s renewable energy is owned by communities. It is believed to be the UK’s first and the world’s largest cooperatively run, community-owned solar farm.
ESCP Business School and its Energy Management Centre (EMC) are thrilled to announce that our dynamic eleventh cohort of MSc in Energy Management students recently nominated the board members of the School’s Energy Society for the 2023–2024 term.

France possesses one of the largest nuclear power programmes worldwide. The country has 56 operable nuclear reactors producing a total of 61 gigawatts (GW), which is equivalent to over 70% of its electricity. At present, the country holds the highest share of nuclear energy in the world.
Last month, students from the MSc in Energy Management specialisation visited EDF’s Saint-Alban nuclear power plant – a site built in 1979 and located on the Rhone river in the Isère department, 50 km downstream from Lyon. The activity was organised by the ESCP Energy Society and sponsored by our School..
Venezuela is the country with the largest proved oil reserves according to the 2022 BP Statistical Review of World Energy, and is also one of the top ten countries with the largest reserves of natural gas. The economy of the South American nation is reliant on its fossil fuel industry, hence its being highly vulnerable to the so-called Dutch disease, in which a government develops a risky dependence on natural resource exports to the detriment of other sectors in the economy. After years of economic decline, the nation’s economy grew 17.73% year-over-year in the first three quarters of 2022 according to Venezuela’s Central Bank.

Madame Nicole Fontaine: a passion for Europe until her last breath
A great figure of Europe has just passed away. The European flame will last, thanks to her commitment, throughout her life.
Nicole Fontaine was a woman and a friend who always carried and fostered the values of Europe deep within her.
Like Europe, the roots of Nicole Fontaine were Christian. She once was assistant secretary general, and delegate for Catholic Education in France. The subject of her PhD thesis in public law was private confessional education under contract with the state in France. It became a reference research work, and was published four times.

The forum is aimed at Heads of Brexit Task Forces, Heads of Strategy, Heads of Corporate Affairs in charge of Brexit and others with associated duties.
A recent report has shown that in addition to conflict, climate change is contributing to food insecurity across some parts of the continent: ''224 million people are now reportedly under-nourished on the continent, an increase of over 20 million in recent years. The reasons for this are complicated but related to the increasing pressures of extreme weather events. Rising temperatures and a greater prevalence of droughts across the continent has led to repeated crop failures.'' Widely read and widely shared, this topic is not trending in Africa.
Africa's environment is under serious threat, and along with it the very livelihoods of it's people. The Guardian report on the cocoa industry in Ivory Coast highlighted how the country's rainforest cover is being destroyed at a staggering rate- going from covering 25% of the country to just a mere 4% in just two decades.
Young talent from prestigious universities met at the ESCP's London Campus on 22nd & 23rd February to participate in the 2018 Energy Trading Challenge.

In Greece, during the last years, there has been considerable debate about the great potential in the hydrocarbon sector and its key geostrategic position, which may be appropriate even for the creation of an international hub for the passage of crucial channels. Nevertheless, the above mentioned aspects have not been proven yet.
What is safe to say is that, so far, Greece and the wider Balkan region do form a region of competition against the US, Russia and China. As it is well known, Russia, besides the frequent gas supply in Greece, has been unsuccessfully working with Greece on various energy projects so far, while China has proceeded rapidly to implement important programmes in the country, which opened the way to Europe.
Our MSc in Energy Management Students invite young talent from prestigious universities to meet at our London Campus on 22nd – 23rd February to participate at the 2018 Energy Trading Competition.

After a challenging year, the energy industry is emerging in better shape. Low oil prices brought attention to efficiency gains and the need to optimise return on invested capital, and investment forecasts in some sectors, such as US-focused exploration and production, are now positive for 2017. Countries historically off-limits to investors, like Iran and Mexico, are tentatively opening their doors to foreign investment, and a recovering oil price should improve the viability of ambitious frontier projects. Moreover, rapid developments in fourth industrial revolution technologies and the internet of things, including automation and robotics, are becoming more deeply embedded in the energy sector. Meanwhile, the renewables sector continues to thrive, with innovation in electric cars, solar photovoltaics and the energy internet driving progress.

With the final day of the Emirates EVRT starting, everyone was in agreement that it had been an amazing experience, a unique opportunity to learn about electric vehicles, and a privilege to open charging stations at key locations in the UAE.
Our first stop of Day 4 was in Dubai Motor City, where the cars had a special photoshoot, and then we moved on to the Sustainable City for our conference. We were greeted by a large crowd, including members of the local community and a range of media outlets. They were keen to try the EVs for themselves and learn more about the benefits of owning one, as well as asking plenty of questions about the Emirates EVRT.
Tuesday 31st January
The third day of the Emirates EVRT started with an early morning - we needed to prepare to open another charging station, this time at the Novotel Hotel in Fujairah!
It was officially declared open by ENGIE, one of the main sponsors of the EVRT, and Wiebe Walker from the Plug Me In project. Wiebe joined the Emirates EVRT during his own road trip, in which he was driving all the way from the Netherlands to Australia by electric vehicle.
The Emirates Global EVRT team had an early start at the Marjan Island Resort & Spa in Ras al-Khaimah, with planning for the day taking place before breakfast. Many took extra time to investigate the range of electric bikes on display around the hotel.
Upon departure from the hotel, we headed straight to Jabel Jais, the highest peak in the UAE. With an elevation of 1,892m, this rocky mountain sits on the border with Oman (where it actually reaches even higher with an elevation of 1,911m) and, with its dramatic scenery, helps provide one of the best driving roads in the UAE.
What is it like to work on the trading floor of the most active energy markets? What are the key insights needed to trade competitively in oil and gas?

Renewables & Non-renewables energy resources
Climate change represents a major challenge for the energy industry; consequences can be seen worldwide and immediate action is needed. Management skills and innovation are vital to overcome the current challenges in the industry.
How can gas be the bridge to a renewable energy future?
Energy is pivotal to the address of some of the most pressing global issues. The industry represents one of the most amazing, dynamic, but also unpredictable sectors across the world.
Assessing the key drivers for energy demand and supply going forward, the impact of climate change, the increased role of renewables and what the future holds for the industry are some of the challenges faced by senior energy professionals.
Dear professors,
Dear colleagues,
Dear students,
The result of the UK Referendum comes as a disappointment to many in the UK Higher Education sector, including ESCP Europe.
ESCP Europe fully respects the decision of the UK electorate, but there are many reasons to believe that the outcome will create challenges for education providers. It will take many months for the full consequences of this decision to be understood as a UK exit from the EU will not happen for some time. If the UK Parliament approves the result of the public referendum, there will be a gradual exit process with significant conversation around the alternatives to full EU membership.
Dr. Kostas Andriosopoulos, Executive Director of ESCP's Energy Management Centre (EMC), has been invited to speak at the 20th Economist Government Roundtable.

Roundtable on Natural Gas as a Bridge to a Renewable Energy Future & Info Session
When: 21st April 2016
Time: 16:00 – 19:30
We all woke knowing that it was – sadly - the final day of our journey. The urge was strong to stay in bed to recover from the long days and nights of driving, but a day of sightseeing awaited!
The team agreed to meet at the Arc De Triomphe at 11am where we would grab breakfast and some much needed coffee. Finding a suitable – and legal - place to park three magnificent Tesla Model S cars near the Arc De Triomphe proved more difficult that we had anticipated! After 20 minutes of trying with no success we agreed to drive to Montmartre where we could find a French Bistro and enjoy the afternoon.
Today was the grand finale of the trip, our final destination before we headed back to London. To mark this special occasion we had two exciting events planned: a trip to the British Ambassador’s residence in Paris, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where we had been invited for tea by British Ambassador Julian King; and the final Energy Conference of the EVRT held at ESCP’s largest and oldest campus on Avenue de la République. It was the day we had all been looking forward to the most! The conferences have been a great opportunity for us to develop a better understanding of the current issues in energy markets, and were the events we had been looking forward to the most!
The Ambassador’s Residence
The high-profile nature of this meeting meant that Prof. Dr Kostas Andriosopoulos, Academic Director for the MSc in Energy Management (MEM) programme and Shireen Fraser, Head of PR for the London Campus joined us to show their continued support for the EVRT. We parked the three cars in front of the staircase that led up to the building’s main entrance, the door of which had features resembling that of a palace. The residence has a connection with Napoleon and was the first British Embassy bought and owned by the British.
At 9:30am we drove the cars and a caravan to the ESCP’s Turin Campus. Charging was a challenge; we had to ensure that the cars were fully-charged before we entered the city as there are no Tesla super charging stations. The nearest super charger was in Cavaglia, which is 60 km away.
As we drove through Turin, we realised that the cars were drawing a lot of interest and admiring looks. This was no surprise given that Turin is the automotive manufacturing capital of Italy, and the Italian passion for sports cars is well known. After all, Italy gave the world the Ferrari and Lamborghini!
TESLAS DRIVING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
The day started early as we had a 1200km drive ahead. In a traditional engine convention car the journey would take us around 13 hours; however, in a Tesla electric car the expected duration of the journey was 17 hours. Despite the early start, the team was in good spirits and excited about driving through the Swiss Alps.
After sleeping and meeting up for breakfast, we quickly realised there was a serious problem: Aurora was low on energy, plus the cold night had robbed the car of an additional 10km - this left us with just 18km. We were supposed to be at ESCP's Berlin Campus at 12.30pm, and there are no Tesla Super Chargers in the city centre. After searching for nearby EV charging stations on our phones, we drove to two Vattenfall charging stations. We were surprised to find they only work with charging cards, which seemed ludicrous and made the charging stations inaccessible. As a result we were not be able to drive all three cars to the Berlin Campus.
Maher found an app called Plugsurfing that mapped all EV charging stations in Berlin. This enabled Ben to get to a pay-as-you-go EV charging station close to our hotel. We had to leave Aurora to charge and, after a little rearrangement, we were back on schedule to arrive at the campus for 12:30pm!
As we arrived at the Berlin campus we were welcomed with a barrage of friendly faces, including a photographer. The focus was clearly on the gorgeous Tesla Model S vehicles, but we would also like to think that they were excited to meet the EVRT team, too.
TILBURG
As we stepped outside of our hotel in Tilburg, Netherlands, the chilly air and sunlight welcomed us to a fresh start to the day. Just a 20-minute drive brought us to our first destination: the Tesla plant.
TWO TESLA FACTORIES
The demand for cars outstripped the capacity of the first Tesla plant, so the company built a second factory to resolve the problem. The former plant now serves as a Tesla Service Centre. The staff provided us with the directions for the second factory and we were on our way!
After a year of planning the first ever ESCP Tesla tour it has finally started in London. We are embarking on a great experience in our Tesla model S cars to raise awareness of the ongoing climate change and clean energy initiatives across Europe.
We will be introducing the team throughout this post as we hit the road to our first destination in the Netherlands, in the small city of Tilburg.
The London campus of ESCP Business School hosted the launch of the ESCP Electrical Vehicle Road Trip (EVRT) on 12th March 2016. The event included the first energy conference in a four-part series taking place in London, Berlin, Turin, and Paris. The topic of a lively panel discussion was ‘Electric Vehicles in the UK: Turning Niche into Mainstream’.
To give attendees a hands-on experience of what travel in an electric vehicle is like, the EVRT team arranged for a Tesla Model S shuttle-service to operate between West Hampstead and Finchley Road tube stations and the ESCP campus. For most, this was their first taste of an electric car, and reactions were overwhelmingly positive.
ESCP’s Energy Society and the Centre for Energy Management (EMC), in association with TryMyEV, are delighted to announce the launch of the School's Electric Vehicle Road Trip 2016. The event will take place on 12th March at 10.30am for a 12.00 start at the London campus.

On the night of the US election, Olivier Delbard was invited to participate in a debate on TV5MONDE. Sylvie Brunel and Yves-Marie Péréon were also part of the round table, which focused on energy choices and environmental issues in the USA, present and future. The main topic was that of shale gas exploitation in the USA: What is the right balance between the obvious economic benefits of shale gas (energetic independence, lower cost of production) and the environmental risks related to the activity (use of water, contamination of underground water, environmental degradation)? What about regulation and supervision? Is the European view on this issue too negative - and even more so in France?
All these issues led us to question American lifestyle choices and cultural values in regards to the use of natural resources and environmental footprints. What of energy efficiency?
