The newly elected Renewables Working Group (RES WG) of the Association of Mediterranean Energy Regulators (MEDREG) will hold its first meeting on 18 March to plan its activities for 2021, with particular attention to the report to identify the role and competences of the Regulators in MED Region concerning energy efficiency measures.

To complete this report, the WG will proceed to gather relevant data through a questionnaire to members, giving attention also at the green mobility policies developed in the region.

In addition, the Group will discuss the modalities and content of the pooling workshop between Jordan, Lebanon and Morocco to discuss different mechanisms in use in the Mediterranean countries and effective market design to promote RES penetration and low carbon transition in a cost-effective way.

RES WG focuses on the legislative and regulatory mechanisms used to promote renewable electricity generation and energy efficiency and RES deployment in the Mediterranean area, with attention to off-grid solutions and independent power producers (IPPs).

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.
