CEER Strategy 2026-2029: Ensuring regulatory stability and citizen engagement amidst change to reach the decarbonisation goals efficiently

The Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) Strategy for 2026-2029, entitled “Ensuring regulatory stability and citizen engagement amidst change to reach the decarbonisation goals efficiently” (the Strategy) sets out CEER’s vision, mission and strategic priorities for the coming four years, against the backdrop of accelerating energy system transformation and heightened geopolitical challenges.

Building on CEER’s 2022-2025 Strategy and the lessons learned from the energy crisis, the new Strategy reaffirms the central role of independent energy regulators in supporting well-functioning markets, protecting consumers and ensuring security of supply, while enabling the energy transition to progress efficiently and fairly.

The Strategy identifies three strategic priorities for the period 2026-2029:

• Optimising market-oriented solutions to deliver the best results for consumers and the energy system;
• Empowering and protecting consumers, while promoting affordability and accessibility;
• Deepening the integration of a decarbonised energy system.
