In 2015, the Egyptian Electricity Regulator EgyptERA volunteered to undertake an assessment of its independence, duties and enforcement powers, accountability, transparency, and internal organisation. This peer review assessment, carried out by fellow Mediterranean regulators, resulted in a report containing critical suggestions for EgyptERA.
This case study reports the results obtained at the end of two years of implementation of MEDREG’s recommendations and how EgyptERA saw its regulatory prerogatives become effective and its power significantly strengthened in tariff methodology, dispute settlement, market opening, public consultation and transparency.
