ERRA Gaseous Fuels Markets and Economic Regulation Committee presents its latest report on Gas Networks: Risks of Stranded Costs & Potential Benefits of Repurposing - Hydrogen & Biomethane Blending. The report summarizes the findings of a survey conducted by the GF COM across 12 member countries. It examines the regulatory, technical, and economic readiness for repurposing natural gas infrastructure for hydrogen and biomethane integration.

This ACER Monitoring Report on key developments in EU energy markets highlights major trends in 2024, focusing on the interaction between gas and electricity. It sets out ACER’s recommendations on how Europe can unlock a clean, secure and competitive energy future.

Digitalization is transforming energy markets. Greece’s RAAEY leverages online tools to enhance transparency, streamline processes, and boost efficiency for market participants.

This study provides comprehensive information on the current state of the gas grid, its development, and the regulatory framework in selected European countries, and identifies current regulatory barriers for the phase-out of fossil gas. It concludes with recommendations on how Member States could better align energy infrastructure planning with the attainment of national and EU climate targets.

ERRA Gaseous Fuels Markets and Economic Regulation Committee presents its Latest Report on Guarantees of Origin & Certification for Hydrogen and Renewable Gases that explores hydrogen as a visionary energy solution, focusing on its production methods, logistics, and the role of Guarantees of Origin (GO) in ensuring environmental integrity and market viability.

Basing on the latest database inputs ERRA has issued its latest report on 2021 data: I) Q4 gas & electricity wholesale and end-user prices; II) Annual data on revenue determinants for regulated utilities and operators.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is at a pivotal point in its collective energy future. This report outlines energy transition pathways that focus on renewables, end-use electrification, energy efficiency and emerging technologies, such as hydrogen. The main focus of this report is the 1.5°C Scenario (1.5-S), an energy pathway for ASEAN that is aligned with IRENA’s global 1.5-degree pathway from the World Energy Transitions Outlook

The ASEAN Interconnector Study conducted by DNV delves into the critical aspects of decarbonization within the member states of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). This comprehensive research explores how collaborative efforts across South East Asian countries can significantly reduce costs and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy sources.

Strengthening interconnection between grids can enhance energy security and contribute to decarbonisation by allowing more flexibility in the system.  Particularly for interconnectors between grids in different jurisdictions, regulators’ roles in facilitating and regulating them can be complex, especially in cases where they operate in very different ways.

This report aims to gather the insights derived from regulators’ experiences in elevating the priority of decarbonization in regulatory decision making. It has recommendations for policymakers, regulators and RETA to support the elevation of decarbonization in regulatory decision making.

The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) launched a Satellite Monitoring Campaign in 2021 to take practical action to help reduce methane emissions from oil and gas operations, demonstrate the capability of satellite technology to detect and quantify methane in Iraq and provide information to local operations to help them reduce emissions. In 2022-2023, OGCI extended its flagship Satellite Monitoring Campaign (SMC) to Algeria, Kazakhstan and Egypt to support more countries taking practical action to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas operations.

This paper analyses the impact of this framework on the existing natural gas networks and the emerging hydrogen network and seeks to establish specifically whether its rules ensure flexibility and security of supply.
