MEDREG stands for the Association of Mediterranean Energy Regulators, which gathers 28 energy regulators from 23 countries, spanning the European Union (EU), the Balkans and the MENA region: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Montenegro, Morocco, North Macedonia, Palestinian Authority, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey are already members. Mauritania has also initiated a process to join the organisation.

MEDREG works to facilitate and develop regulatory approaches and practices that are coherent at the regional level for energy market integration in the Mediterranean region.

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.

Considering its heterogeneous sub-regional membership, which varies in terms of its geography, economy, culture and specific energy regulations at the national level, MEDREG elaborates comprehensive studies, ad-hoc reports, study visits, workshops and specialised trainings that encourage common regulatory practices while respecting the singularity of its members.

Through the technical support and cooperation facilitated by MEDREG, Mediterranean energy regulators tend to adopt converging regulations and are forging a common regulatory culture in the region, which ultimately should contribute to the progressive creation of a Euro-Mediterranean energy market.

The Association is co-funded by the European Union and benefits from the financial contribution of its members.
