Mediterranean Energy Regulators appoint new President
28-05-2010The Association of Mediterranean Regulators for Electricity and Gas (MEDREG) has elected a new President and a new Board for the period 2010-2012, at its 9th General Assembly in Malta.
The new President is Mr. Nadjib Otmane, Chairman of the Algerian Regulatory Commission on Electricity and Gas. He replaces Mr. Alessandro Ortis, Chairman of the Italian Regulator, who during his two mandates has strongly promoted, supported and consolidated the MEDREG Association.
A press release said the new board had been appointed on the basis of three principles: continuity, rotation and equal representation of EU and NON-EU members. Two new Vice Presidents elected by the Assembly will support the new President: they are the Chairmen of the Spanish and the Italian Regulatory Authorities.
The General Assembly also saw the four MEDREG Ad Hoc Groups presenting the results of their ongoing activities:
- The Working Group on Institutional Issues introduced a preliminary assessment on “Customer protection in the electricity and natural gas sectors in the Mediterranean region”.
- The Electricity Group submitted the report, “Heading to an integrated Mediterranean Electricity Market”.
- The Gas Group updated the GA on the ongoing study concerning the status and evolution of the Mediterranean gas market.
- The Group on Environment, Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Efficiency displayed the legislative and regulatory mechanisms used to promote renewable energy generation and energy efficiency in the MEDREG area.
MEDREG supports the development of a modern and efficient energy regulatory framework in the Mediterranean Partner Countries and strengthens their cooperation with EU energy regulators. (ENPI Info Centre)
