Global Energy Regulators Forum

The Global Energy Regulators Forum is a high-level gathering for senior regulatory authorities, policymakers and energy market leaders to address the rapidly evolving challenges shaping global energy systems.

As governments accelerate decarbonisation, electrification and energy security strategies, regulators are playing an increasingly critical role in balancing competing priorities: enabling investment in new infrastructure, maintaining affordability and reliability. The Forum provides a platform for peer-to-peer exchange on the regulatory tools, governance models and policy approaches needed to navigate this period of structural change.

Global Energy Regulators Forum agenda

Tuesday, 15 September | 11:30 - 12:15 Global Energy Regulators Forum

By invitation: Regulatory leadership in the APAC century: Shared challenges, divergent paths

Asia accounts for the majority of global energy demand growth, the largest pipeline of new infrastructure investment and some of the most varied regulatory starting points of any region in the world. From the advanced market designs of Northeast Asia and Australia to the rapidly scaling systems of Southeast and South Asia, the region encompasses almost every stage of regulatory development simultaneously. The problems regulators face are broadly shared, but the institutional contexts, resource c... Read More

The regulator's new mandate: Independence, industrial policy and the limits of institutional credibility

Energy regulators were built for a specific purpose: fair markets, reliable systems, and protected consumers. That mandate has not disappeared. But it has been joined by something larger and more politically charged: decarbonisation targets, economic competitiveness, industrial strategy and the management of large-scale system transformation.In many jurisdictions, regulators are now operating at the intersection of market oversight and national energy strategy. By September 2026, the pressures b... Read More

Energy security after the crisis: Building regulatory frameworks that can absorb the next shock

Recent energy crises forced regulators into emergency mode, intervening to stabilise supply, protect consumers and hold systems together under conditions that existing frameworks were not designed to handle. Those interventions worked, after a fashion. But they also exposed structural gaps that short-term measures could not resolve.As the immediate crisis conditions of the early 2020s recede, there is now sufficient distance to assess what the regulatory response revealed. By autumn 2026, severa... Read More

Regulating the dual system: Managing hydrocarbons while building the energy transition

Many energy regulators are now overseeing two systems simultaneously. One must continue delivering affordable and reliable hydrocarbons that underpin industrial activity, power generation and energy security. The other requires rapid investment in new infrastructure, low-carbon technologies and emerging energy markets. The challenge is not choosing between them. It is governing both at the same time.The tension between short-term security and long-term decarbonisation is becoming more pronounced... Read More

Wednesday, 16 September | 11:00 - 11:45 Global Energy Regulators Forum

The regulator's dilemma: Balancing affordability, reliability and long-term transition goals

For years, the assumption was that the hard work of the energy transition lay in developing clean technologies and bringing down their costs. That work is largely done. Today, the binding constraint in many markets is infrastructure, and the pace at which regulatory frameworks, permitting processes and financing models can support the grid expansion the transition demands.Transmission and distribution networks are under sustained pressure from new generation clusters, rising electrification dema...

Reliability in the transition: Redesigning electricity markets for a high-renewables world

For decades, electricity markets were designed around the predictable output of thermal generation. Today, the rapid scaling of variable renewables is stress-testing capacity mechanisms, reserve arrangements and balancing frameworks that were never built for this level of system variability. Reliability risk is being redistributed and the rules for who bears it are increasingly unclear.Firm capacity, flexibility and system services such as inertia are emerging as critical attributes that markets...

By Invitation: The regulatory horizon: Preparing institutions for the decade ahead

The regulatory horizon: Preparing institutions for the decade ahead The regulatory challenges of the 2030s are already taking shape. Fully electrified demand, deeply digitalised systems, hydrogen and low-carbon molecules moving through repurposed networks, and cross-border markets requiring coordination across very different institutional settings will place demands on regulatory institutions that current frameworks were not built to meet. The gap between what regulators are being asked to do an... Read More
