Panel discussion “Being an independent regulator”

CEER President Annegret Groebel emphasised the importance of independence, given the necessity of pushing through sometimes unpopular decisions for effective regulation of the sector. She stated that regulator should resume a normal path after a crisis, but regulation should be more flexible, without losing predictability to keep progressing toward the energy transition. Ms Groebel also noted that there should be checks and balances for regulatory agencies, but this should not impinge on the ability to take independent decisions.
