IV Annual RELOP Conference

Quality of Regulation

The IV Annual RELOP Conference took place in Brasilia, between 30 of June and 1 of July 2011. Participants from different regulators, companies and universities of Portuguese Speaking Countries contributed to the conference and analised the quality of regulation from a general perspective, and applied to more specific energy sources, such as ethanol or biomass.

Some regulators’ governance models were debated, and how they affect the regulation of the energy sector in their countries, as well as the companies’ perspectives regarding regulatory practices and their impacts in terms of attracting or rejecting foreign investment.

The efficient use of energy resources was one of the most analised topics during the IV Annual Conference, in particular the role of regulators in adopting measures that promote energy efficiency.
