An Intensive 5-day Training Course

Energy Risk Management

Managing Risk Exposure in the Energy Sector

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Risk management is a fundamental element of every successful organisation—especially in the dynamic and high-stakes energy sector. Yet, many businesses still regard risk as an afterthought rather than a strategic asset. In reality, unmanaged risk can lead to financial loss, compliance failures, and performance decline. However, when effectively understood and managed, risk becomes a driver of business growth, operational excellence, and long-term sustainability.

This Energy Risk Management training course provides participants with a robust foundation in identifying, analysing, and addressing risk in energy-focused operations. From traditional energy companies to innovative startups and organisations undergoing transformation, the principles of risk management apply across all levels—regulatory compliance, strategic planning, project execution, and ESG integration. Attendees will explore essential risk frameworks, governance principles, and advanced tools specific to the energy sector. This training course also sheds light on the evolving role of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices and their intersection with enterprise risk.

This KC Academy Energy Risk Management training course will cover:

  • Foundational principles of enterprise risk management
  • Sector-specific approaches to energy risk management
  • Classification and analysis of different risk categories
  • Financial and operational risk techniques tailored for energy businesses
  • Advanced tools and systems for energy trading and risk oversight
