      The goalImproving knowledge about energy economics, as a special scientific discipline. Energy is one of the most important developing factor which has very important role in production and consumption. Because of that, the objective of this course is to acquire knowledge about availability and usage of existing and new energy springs. It is necessary to inform students about importance of rational energy consumption and with influence of this sector to all technical and economic development. It is necessary in the process of making decisions about energy usage and consumption. The main task is most rational consumption of all energy springs.
      The outcomeAnalytic competences of students in judging the necessary rationalization of energy consumption and production. To improve knowledge and methods for management decision in the process of price and cost calculations, cost benefit analysis and investment.
