About this event

The Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA), a non-profit network of energy regulators from more than 45 countries, holds its 24th Annual Conference in Riyadh, hosted by the Saudi Electricity Regulatory Authority (SERA). Under the theme "From Oversight to Foresight: The Proactive Regulator in the Electricity Transformation", the conference looks at how regulators can move from managing failures to preventing them while protecting consumers through the energy transition.

Key themes

The programme is built around five themes.

Leading the electricity sector transformation: governance, performance and accountability
Consumer enablement and protection through digital transformation and AI
Enhancing the grid to enable the energy transition
Compliance, auditing and enforcement, including cybersecurity
Electricity market design and regional integration

Programme format

Day 0 (1 February) is given to workshops and technical field visits. The main conference runs on 2 and 3 February with an opening ceremony, six panel sessions and an accompanying exhibition of electricity-sector solutions, followed by a gala dinner on the first evening and the announcement of next year's host on the final morning.

Who attends

Electricity and energy regulators, ministries and government bodies, utilities, consultants and other sector specialists. Attendance requires registration through the official link and approval of the registration.
