The ERRA Conference serves as a platform where experts and reprezentants of energy industry, public administration, consumers organization will not only hear the latest news on energy but where participants can actively exchange ideas with more than 100 energy regulators of the ERRA region.
Get actively involved in the discussion about the necessary improvements for the development of energy markets and for energy regulation for electricity, gas and sustainable development of the energy industry.

Last year in Warsaw
The previous ERRA Conference ‘Investment and regulation in power industry’ took place in Warsaw, and was successfully organized for the first time in Poland by international association of regulatory bodies and the (Polish national) Energy Regulator Office. Over two hundred guests from Europe, Asia and the United States of America - regulators, representatives of government administration, energy enterprises and advising companies, took parts in the debates in Warsaw.

The participants accepted with great interest The URE President presentation entitled ‘Bringing Light to Market Forces. EU Perspectives on Liberalization of the Electricity Market’, presented diversified aspects of liberalizing the energy market. According to the President of URE, Mr. Swora, the energy market needs an independent regulator equipped in tools to counteract negative results of market domination.

The URE President also presented an idea for system solution, ensuring transparency and smoothness for the functioning of the wholesale market for electricity, where is the duty to sell electricity on the energy Exchange.

Building bridges
In the opinion of the Polish Regulator, ERRA has an important role to play in building bridges between countries of East and West Europe as well as Asia. The Polish body responsible for energy market regulation can bring much to the activities of the Association.
