The GAS Working Group assesses the current status of natural gas and LNG markets in Mediterranean countries, their relevant regulatory frameworks and possible evolutions. The Working Group elaborates Guidelines of Good Practice (GGP) and recommendations that can lead to the development of an integrated, competitive, secure and effective gas market in the region.
The meeting supported the group in outlining the planning for the activities envisaged for 2021. In the pipeline, the group counts a study that will evaluate the gas infrastructure and its required to improve flexibility and interoperability if countries show an emission reduction targets and in a climate change vision/green deal and other energy sources (i.e. Hydrogen, biogas). For what concerns the provision of technical support to members, 2021 will see the realization of the second-leg of the GASREG-CRE Study Visit, focusing on case studies of TPA decisions taken by CRE and the realization of a report for the Jordanian regulator EMRC on Design and implementation of regulation for gas sector.
