20th General Assembly of RELOP
RELOP members gathered in Foz do Iguaçu to decide the organization’s future
On the morning of November 8, RELOP members convened for the association’s 20th General Assembly. The meeting took place at the Itaipu Binacional facilities, alongside the 1st ARIAE-RELOP International Conference, with the participation of 11 out of its 12 members.
During the session, RELOP’s Working Groups presented the initiatives carried out throughout the year, while the Secretariat shared an overview of collaborations between RELOP and other organizations, as well as a forward-looking perspective on these institutional partnerships for 2025.
Key topics for RELOP’s future were also discussed at the Assembly, including the approval of the 2025 Activity Plan and Budget—the largest ever proposed—with 20 planned activities. Amendments to the bylaws were also approved, establishing new governance bodies: the Administration and the Council of Presidents. The revised bylaws also introduce the possibility of admitting “Associate” and “Observer” members, subject to a General Assembly decision.
At the start of the session, the text of the Iguaçu Declaration was presented and debated. A common draft, agreed upon by ARIAE and RELOP, was approved, reflecting both associations’ commitment to the future of regulation in the energy sector. The Declaration can be accessed here.
Finally, ARENE and INP from Mozambique submitted their candidacy to host RELOP’s annual events in 2025.
