MEDREG Regulatory Outlook
Based on data collected from 20 Mediterranean energy regulatory authorities and ministries, the Energy Regulatory Outlook presents the
status of energy regulation in the Mediterranean Basin
and aims to provide a complete overview about how the national energy sectors are ruled, ranging from independent entities to governmental bodies. Each regulator is analyzed according to a number of dimensions (such as independence, organization, transparency and accountability).
The report shows that most Mediterranean regulators are
independent and empowered entities
working to support the
opening of the energy markets
and mandated to
define tariffs
, issue
binding decisions
and
sanction
sector participants. However, the report indicates that in some countries the role and competences of the regulator could benefit from
clarification and improvement
in terms of tariff definition,
dispute settlement
between industry and customers and the protection of
vulnerable consumers
