RETA Roundtable & Steering Committee Meeting, March 2024
Following a flagship report by the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) for the Regulatory Energy Transition Accelerator (RETA)—a platform of 60+ regulators—evidence emerged that regulators worldwide are already finding creative ways to advance decarbonization despite limited explicit mandates. In response, the RETA Steering Committee granted a mandate to elevate this message, sparking a collaboration with the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) and the 21st Century Power Partnership (21CPP).
CEM15 Side-Event – Empowering Energy Regulators to Tackle Decarbonisation, October 2024
During a side-event at CEM15, the vision of this CEM Campaign was further developed. This event with speakers from regulators from Kenya, Great Britain and Chile, brought our messages straight to policy makers. It provided the opportunity for co-operating agents and partners to present their plans for this campaign to the policy makers in attendance, while receiving valuable feedback.
