This document describes the level of development of renewable gases in the Mediterranean region, providing an overview of the regulatory framework and the energy strategy of the countries applied to hydrogen and biogases. The report also informs about the existing and planned projects in the region, and the support mechanisms that are in place or are planned to be established.
This pedagogical publication is based on our Portuguese Study Visit Report entitled “Exploring Energy Storage and Demand Management”. It presents the regulatory policies and trends on these important topics, with a focus on Portugal, through summarised and schematic information.
This pedagogical publication is based on our “Training Report: Climate Obligations, Environmental Standards, and Regulations”. It translates the complex subjects of renewable energy, energy efficiency, buyer power, the role of natural gas and hydrogen, technology innovation and electric mobility, into accessible concepts. It also highlights the role of regulators and MEDREG’s action to reduce the environmental damage.
This technical report intends to provide a better understanding to our members of how environmental and climate change matters are intertwined with their daily regulatory work as well as what is expected from regulators in terms of contribution to the ongoing efforts to reduce the carbon footprint.
Based on our training on “Climate Obligations, Environmental Standards, and Regulations” that took place in Tirana (Albania) in May 2022, the report comprises the contributions of several international speakers specialised in their fields and of energy regulators’ representatives from different Mediterranean countries.
This document highlights the main questions and possible answers that characterise energy storage and demand side management in the Portuguese energy sector, focusing on the role played by the regulator in implementing and monitoring it.
Based on our study visit to the Portuguese energy regulator ERSE on “Energy Storage and Demand Management” that took place in Lisbon (Portugal) in July 2022, the report comprises the contributions of ERSE’s experts, and of energy regulators’ representatives from different southern Mediterranean countries.
This report summarises the outcomes of the discussions held in the joint workshop on “Support Mechanisms for RES integration, Flexibility Mechanisms and Innovative Technologies” held in October 2022 in Lisbon.
Based on a recent MEDREG’s report, this digital card explains how regulation is and can be used to accelerate and increase the integration of RES and more widely accompany the decarbonisation of the energy sector.
