Building a Resilient and Secure Electricity System: A Fit-for-Purpose Regulatory Framework

Topic: Electricity Sector
Session information

The workshop will bring together policymakers, regulators, leading practitioners, and academics to share advancements in electricity regulation from around the world.

The event will focus on insights and lessons learned by electricity regulators in both developed and developing countries over the past 25 years, emphasizing adaptability and innovation as essential components of resilient and secure power systems. This is especially relevant in the context of the “electrify everything” trend and the growing integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. The analysis will offer valuable lessons on regulatory successes and challenges globally, with particular relevance for Latin America and the Caribbean.

The workshop will also highlight key success factors behind effective regulatory frameworks that promote energy security, sustainability, co-investment, and job creation—providing models for other countries to consider. Discussions will examine how regulatory systems have evolved in response to country-specific challenges, with the ultimate goal of establishing well-functioning wholesale electricity markets.
Concluding with a global perspective, the workshop will provide guidance on developing robust, transparent, and effective regulatory frameworks. It will offer recommendations for countries aiming to strengthen their regulatory systems by building institutional capacity and enhancing the autonomy of regulatory agencies in the face of evolving energy challenges.
