The INS WG will be developing a report that will assess the status of energy regulation in the Mediterranean Basin and provide a complete overview of how the national energy sectors are ruled, ranging from independent entities to governmental bodies. In 2022, a further update of the report shall follow.

Renewable energy technologies are becoming increasingly cost-competitive and investments in renewable energy has been already outpacing investments in other energy sources. This explicitly includes that there will be a gradual increase of renewable energy sources to be deployed in the transmission and/or distribution networks that cannot be easily dispatched and/or integrated by the TSO and DSO due to their intermittent nature.

The CUS WG will update its 2016 report on Vulnerable Consumers and organise a Workshop on Handling Technical and Non-Technical Losses of electricity to achieve a comprehensive understanding of power losses and their management (or lack thereof) in the Mediterranean countries.

This training will consider and explain the main questions and possible answers that characterize the debate on third party access and unbundling regimes in the electricity and gas markets, focusing in particular on the economic principles behind them and the role of energy regulators in designing and implementing them correctly in the energy sector.
