CPLP Colloquium on Energy

On the 21st of October 2025, the CPLP Colloquium on Energy took place, in Maputo, Mozambique, and gathered over 100 participants.

The event, organised by RELOP’s Work Groups in partnership with ALER, gathered experts from the energy sector in order to promote the exchange of knowledge and reflection on strategies for advancing the energy transition in the community of Portuguese-speaking countries.

With panels that touched on themes such as the Energy and Climate Cooperation Roadmap in the CPLP, energy eficiency as a pilar for regulating the energy transition, and the role of gas and oil on energy security, the event served as an important moment of reflection about the current energy situation in CPLP countries. IEA was also present, and shared for the first time their National Climate Resilience Assessment for Mozambique.

RELOP’s Energy Transition Work Group used this opportunity to launch the Fact Sheets that they have been developing, which gather practical examples of measures, policies, and projects implemented in member countries, contributing to a energy transition that is fair, sustainable, and inclusive.

To close the event, there was a round table where several RELOP regulators reflected on the regulatory challenges for the energy transition.

The colloquium was marked by moments of sharing, reflection, and inspiration on the challenges and opportunities of energy transition in the Lusophone countries, where the spirit of openness to joint action was clear. The fundamental role that regulation plays in the path towards an inclusive and sustainable energy transition was highlighted.
