RELOP Participates in the 22nd ERRA Annual Conference

The Conference in Oman brought together energy regulators to discuss cooperation and best practices in the sector.

On May 5 and 6, in Muscat, Oman, the 22nd Annual Conference of the Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA) took place, with the theme “Advancing the Energy Transition through Effective Policies and Regulation.” The event brought together experts and representatives from energy regulatory networks across various regions to discuss the main challenges and advancements in the global energy sector.

Representing RELOP, Ludimila Silva, Director of ANEEL, participated in one of the panels dedicated to the management and integration of electricity grids. During her presentation, she shared Brazil’s experience in integrating renewable energy into a predominantly hydroelectric system. Among the key points highlighted were the benefits of centralized auctions, the evolution of grid codes, and the resilience of complementary resources. She also emphasized the high costs associated with the expansion of the electricity grid and the logistical and territorial challenges faced in Brazil. As a suggestion, she pointed out that regulators should prioritize the efficiency of existing infrastructures, promoting flexibility, transparency, and proactive regulation.

On the day before, May 4, RELOP also participated in the 12th High-Level Meeting of Regional Associations of Emerging Markets, promoted by ERRA. The meeting focused on exchanging experiences, spreading best practices, and strengthening cooperation among emerging economies in the energy sector.

Ludimila Silva, as a representative of RELOP, presented the organization and its main ongoing initiatives, as well as shared ANEEL’s experiences aimed at consumer engagement in the energy market.

RELOP’s participation in the events reinforced the association’s image among peer entities and its commitment to promoting the development of regulatory activities and the energy market through the sharing of knowledge and regulatory best practices.
