RETA facilitated the participation of African energy regulators at a meeting held in South Africa by the Climate Parliament and Modern Energy Cooking Services in February.

The meeting focused on the transition from polluting cooking fuels to electricity. Regulators from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, Sierra Leone and Nigeria attended, as well as secretariat members from RETA and the African Forum of Utility Regulators.

The issue was identified as a pressing issue for many African regulators, with interesting examples being shared between regulators, and RETA will work further on electric cooking.
