Mediterranean Working Groups on Electricity and Gas regulation (MEDREG)
EU Transparency Register

Goals / Remit
Considering the strategic energy challenges of the Mediterranean region, Mediterranean Energy Regulators consider as their duty to constitute a strong institutional basis promoting a “bottom up“ approach towards economic, social and cultural development, in order to conciliate a rising energy demand with sustainable development conditions. The essential role of Energy Regulators has been acknowledged by Euro-Med Energy Ministers on 17 December 2007 in Limassol (Cyprus) and again on 3-4 November 2008 in Marseilles (France), in order to implement the Priority Action Plan for 2008-2013.
MEDREG was established as a permanent “working group” in May 2006 and became a non-profit Association under Italian Law in November 2007. MEDREG brings together Energy Regulators for Electricity and Gas of the following countries: Albania, Algeria, the Palestinian Authority, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Croatia, Egypt, France, Jordan, Greece, Israel, Italy, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Montenegro, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey.
MEDREG permanent Secretariat is based in Milan, hosted by the Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy and Water (ARERA).Main EU files targeted
