MEDREG Annual Report 2016
2016
marked the tenth anniversary
of our Association which helped to create trustful relationships and strong cooperation between Mediterranean energy regulators.
Over the past year, MEDREG
supported the empowerment of member regulators
through a variety of activities: we completed a successful
peer review
of the Egyptian electricity regulator, which resulted in tailor-made critical recommendations and we welcomed several
technical cooperation initiatives
in the Southern shore countries.
With regards to the
integration of Mediterranean gas and electricity markets
, MEDREG contributed to make significant progress. We evaluated electricity investment projects and promoted good performance of generators while sound methodologies to design gas tariffs and allocate gas capacity were discussed and shared to members.
In 2016,
MEDREG’s role in the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) Energy Platforms was confirmed
. MEDREG was recognized as one of the main responsible bodies for technical deliverables to the Regional Electricity Market (REM) Platform, while we also played an important role in the Gas and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (REEE) Platforms.
Externally,
we maintained and enhanced our relationships
with fellow regulators at international level
, pursuing our dialogue with European, Balkan and Emerging Markets counterparts.
We were very active too in
designing regulation for consumer-friendly markets able to achieve RES targets
, with particular emphasis on the
protection of vulnerable consumers.
Our regulatory vision
was
widely disseminated
on the occasion of events and through various publications and communications.

MEDREG Annual Report 2015
Mediterranean Energy Regulators perform an increasing number of activities and support the setting up of an efficient regulatory framework for electricity and gas markets in the Mediterranean region. As the only Association representing the public authorities responsible for electricity and gas regulation of 21 Mediterranean countries, we strongly believe in the central role of independent regulators and will keep on developing recommendations and providing continuous support to our members in this respect.Thanks to the work performed so far to integrate and harmonize electricity and gas markets, MEDREG can be counted among the most relevant organizations in the Mediterranean energy sector. In the future, MEDREG will increase its commitment to support national regulator in developing and strengthening their role. It is our pleasure to share these achievements with you and to send you our 2015 Annual Report.

MEDREG Annual Report 2014
Mediterranean Energy Regulators are pleased to share with you their newly published Annual Report. In 2014 we succeeded in keeping our momentum as an active association of regional cooperation with a clear vision towards the future. We have completed and approved our Strategy for 2020-2030, which identifies five major targets: a sound regulatory institutional framework; optimal conditions for infrastructure investments; functioning, competitive and transparent electricity and gas markets; efficient protection of consumers, in particular of vulnerable ones; and intensified regional cooperation and setting up of pilot projects. To implement these targets we decided to establish a peer review program, which will support our members in the improvement of their national regulatory framework.
Last year MEDREG went on investigating the investment climate for energy infrastructure in the Mediterranean area. Investments were also at the heart of MEDREG’s first Forum on Energy Regulation (November 2014, Barcelona). In addition. MEDREG signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the European Commission and Med-TSO, the Association of Mediterranean Transmission System Operators for Electricity. This protocol allows the signatories to join forces in favor of the creation of a sound Mediterranean Energy Community and identifies MEDREG as a key actor in the context of the Euro-Mediterranean Energy Platforms.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Mediterranean energy regulators are glad to share with you their Annual Report for 2013. Last year MEDREG welcomed Libya as the twenty-first member country of the Association. The European Commission has renewed its confidence in the Association by signing a new three-year contract with MEDREG. MEDREG has strengthened its institutional framework, revising Statutes and Internal Rules. MEDREG has consolidated the relationship of trust established with the Italian energy regulator (AEEGSI), which hosts the Secretariat of MEDREG in Milan (Italy), and has fulfilled its commitments with Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia finalizing the first part of the IMME programme, aimed at the integration of electricity markets in the Maghreb. As an Association gathering regulators, MEDREG aims to build concrete relationships with partners that are key to develop a network. Two examples of this attitude concern the partnership agreement MEDREG signed with Med-TSO, the Association of electricity transmission system operators in the Mediterranean, and the invitation by the Union for the Mediterranean to present the work of the Association at the Ministerial Energy Meeting in Brussels at the end of 2013.
