AD. 1 Scope of the Grids in Energy Transition Committee (GET COM):

Area A: Economic Regulation and Tariff Methodologies	Area B: Infrastructure Development Planning and Grid Investments	Area C: Quality, Reliability and Resilience; Digitalisationand Smart Infrastructure	Area D: Infrastructure Development Planning and Grid Investments
Regulatory models and approaches: Regulatory Asset Base (RAB), price cap, revenue cap, incentive-based regulation mechanisms Tariff design and network charges: cost allocation methodologies for transmission and distribution, design of network charges to support efficient network use End user price regulation (including universal supply regime tarification): cost-reflective criteria Regulatory building blocks: WACC determination methodologies, efficiency assessment using parametric and non-parametric methods (DEA, SFA, econometric models), capital and operational expenditure review and assessment	Network development planning: regulatory oversight of long-term network plans, evaluation of investment proposals, energy transition effects on grids at both D and T level (for instance, charging station impact on distribution networks) Investment incentives: regulatory frameworks to promote timely and efficient infrastructure development and modernization Cross-border infrastructure: cost allocation for cross-border projects Cost-benefit analysis: frameworks and methodologies for assessing major infrastructure investments	Quality of service regulation: performance standards, continuity and voltage/pressure quality indicators, incentive mechanisms Network losses and system reliability: allowed vs. actual losses, regulatory approaches to minimize technical and non-technical losses Smart infrastructure deployment: smart grids and smart metering rollout, cost-benefit analysis for smart infrastructure programs, impacts on tariff regulation Innovation and digitalization: regulatory approaches to grid innovation, data management, cybersecurity in network operations	Unbundling regimes: ownership, legal, and functional unbundling for electricity and gas sectors, regulatory monitoring of unbundling compliance Hydrogen and green gases infrastructure: regulatory frameworks for hydrogen networks, blending of hydrogen and green gases in natural gas networks, natural gas network repurposing strategies LNG and CNG infrastructure, policies and regulatory models for liquefaction, regasification, and compression facilities Sector coupling at infrastructure level: gas-to-power and power-to-gas integration, regulatory challenges of multi-energy systems Licensing procedures: authorization frameworks for network activities, streamlining of licensing processes

AD. 2 Available Session Formats:

Case study (CS) – short presentation of a specific regulatory example/solution + Q&A.
Roundtable (RT) – brief country updates + open discussion.
Report (R) – written benchmarking/ research / position paper (1 per 2-year workplan).
Leading Presentation (LP) – in-depth intro to a topic, often by an external speaker.
