EVENT DESCRIPTION
December 3, 2018 // Milan, Italy
Organized by:
Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA)
Hosted by:
Association of Mediterranean Energy Regulators (MEDREG)
Background:
In 2013, ERRA launched the organisation of an annual high-level roundtable gathering Associations of regulators from emerging economies of the world. The first roundtable was held in Istanbul (Turkey) and proved very successful and useful for participants, thus leading to the organization of subsequent meetings in Johannesburg (2014), in Istanbul again (2015), in Milan (2016), in Budapest (2017), in Cancun (2018) and in Istanbul (2018).
Objectives:
The objective of this meeting is to continue offering a high-level exchange platform for Associations of regulators representing emerging economies to develop cooperation and exchange of experiences in several areas of energy regulation. The meeting will discuss the first concrete cooperation project of RAEC, addressing regulatory roles in the development of Mini-Grids. Further, participants will discuss possible future collaboration or joint projects based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed on March 21, 2018 among participating associations: AFUR, ARIAE, ERERA, ERRA, MEDREG, RERA and OOCUR.
