Abstract

Under the guidance of the "Dual Carbon" goal, China's energy system is undergoing profound changes. Energy transformation is imminent, and the market-oriented reform of electricity is gradually deepening. The construction of a new power system is advancing steadily. The energy sector urgently needs skilled professionals who possess both basic knowledge of the energy industry and understanding of economic theories and practices. This highlights the significance of the energy economics discipline. Currently, there are common problems in the training of energy economics talents in universities, such as the separation of theory and practice. Integrating resources through industry-academia cooperation and improving the training path is the key to effectively solving this problem. This paper systematically explores the training path for energy economics talents and proposes specific measures for cultivating outstanding energy economics talents through Industry-Education Integration. These include: establishing a collaborative education mechanism for Industry-Education Integration, enhancing the practical course training system, and tailoring training based on students' interests and specialties. Corresponding safeguard measures are also proposed. This provides a reference for improving the training system of energy economics talents.
