The Association of Mediterranean Energy Regulators (MEDREG) participated in the MedThink 5+5 Dialogue Conference held on 1-2 July in Malta, on “Fostering Innovative Alliances in the Western Mediterranean: A Basin of Opportunities for a Sustainable Future”. MEDREG presented the organisation’s work on electricity networks and RES auctions in the panel on “Energy efficiency and transition in the Western Mediterranean”.
The debate that followed highlighted the need to de-politicize energy cooperation in the region and ensure that experts, the industry and NGOs can have the time and means to fine-tune their activities. MEDREG will therefore be involved in these future initiatives.

MEDREG is the Association of Mediterranean Energy Regulators, which brings together 27 regulators from 23 countries, spanning the European Union (EU), the Balkans and North Africa. Mediterranean regulators work together to promote greater compatibility of the regional energy markets and legislation, seeking progressive market integration in the Euro-Mediterranean basin.

MEDREG promotes a transparent, stable and compatible regulatory framework in the Mediterranean Region fostering infrastructure investments, consumer protection, and enhanced energy cooperation. Based on a bottom-up approach, MEDREG acts as a collaborative platform for regulators from the Northern and the Southern shore of the Mediterranean to exchange technical knowledge and good practices while supporting each other to reinforce their regulatory capacity.
The Association is co-funded by the European Union and benefits from the financial contribution of its members.
