Regulatory Energy Transition Accelerator

About RETA.

The accelerator is an initiative to enhance the capacity of regulators to increase the speed of the clean energy transitions.

It works directly with energy regulators in order to facilitate knowledge sharing, peer to peer learning and thought leadership on regulatory issues. It acts as well as a central resource for regulators to seek knowledge products and regulatory tools that can help mitigate challenges regulators face when trying to regulate for the sustainable, affordable and secure energy systems of the future.
The Accelerator was launched in 2021 at COP26 by Ofgem, IEA, IRENA, the World Bank, RMI, Energy Innovation and RAP along with regulators from around the world as part of the Green Grids Initiative.

Report Publication: Building the Future Transmission Grid

 

The report titled “Building the Future Transmission Grid” was published in February 2025, demonstrating the evolving investment landscape in electricity transmission networks and relevant components. Supported by RETA and the IEA, this report sheds light on actionable strategies to address challenges related to the supply chain for grid infrastructure. It highlights the importance of timely infrastructure development for governments, regulators, companies, and stakeholders. Following the publication, a webinar was held on 5 March with key speakers from the IEA, Iberdrola, and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER).

CEM Campaign Launch at COP29

During the first week of COP29 in Azerbaijan, we launched a new Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) campaign, called Empowering Regulators for Accelerated Decarbonisation. It is co-led by Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, while the coordination role is performed by the 21st Century Power Partnership (21CPP) and the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), the co-operating agents of this campaign.

As a knowledge partner to the campaign, RETA is proud to have supported the campaign’s development and launch. Over the next year(s), we will work together with the co-operating agents, member countries and other knowledge partners, the International Energy Agency (IEA), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Clean Energy Solutions Center (CESC), to advance the campaign’s goals.

Hydrogen Webinar by Energy Innovation

 

On October 8th, we held an online event to discuss the role of hydrogen in the energy transition. The agenda included an overview of hydrogen, the development of green hydrogen, and its place in the natural gas transition. We hope that the presentations and discussions provided valuable insights into the emerging hydrogen issue. The feedback from this discussion will also assist us in organising the second series of webinars scheduled for December 10th.
