Taking place at the MEDREG Secretariat offices in Milan, this two-day training, brought together employees of energy regulators from across the Mediterranean region to focus on the role of regulators in the investment approval process and the importance of monitoring compliance post-approval.

As the energy sector undergoes rapid transformation driven by the need for sustainable development, economic growth, and technological innovation, regulators are increasingly tasked with ensuring that investments align with both national priorities and international standards.

The training covered a range of critical topics, including regulatory frameworks, risk assessment, stakeholder engagement, and the use of advanced technological tools for effective monitoring. Understanding these aspects is essential for regulators to navigate the complexities of the investment landscape, where decisions have far-reaching implications for energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic stability.

By exploring these issues, participants gained valuable insights into the regulatory processes that guide investment approvals, learning how to assess risks, engage with stakeholders, and utilise data-driven tools to ensure compliance. This training aimed to strengthen the capacity of regulatory bodies to make informed decisions that promote transparency, accountability, and public trust.

The training featured speakers from the EU countries and MEDREG member organisations.
