About us

The Energy Community Regulatory Board (ECRB) is the independent regional body of energy regulators in the Energy Community and beyond. It is the coordination platform for exchange of knowledge and development of best practices for regulated electricity and gas markets in the Energy Community. Its activities are built on three pillars: providing coordinated regulatory positions to energy policy debates, harmonizing regulatory rules across borders and sharing regulatory knowledge and experience.

    Mission

    • Three pillars

      ECRB's mission builds on three pillars: providing coordinated regulatory positions to energy policy debates, harmonizing regulatory rules across borders and sharing regulatory knowledge and experience.

    • Tasks

      The ECRB operates based on the Treaty establishing the Energy Community. Competencies of ECRB, as defined in the Treaty, are as follows:

      • advise the Ministerial Council or the Permanent High Level Group (PHLG) on the details of statutory, technical and regulatory rules;
      • issue recommendations on cross-border disputes involving two or more regulators;
      • take measures (Recommendation, or legally binding Decisions), if so empowered by the Ministerial Council;
      • adopt Procedural Acts;
         

      Over time, with transposition of gas and electricity network codes and the package “Clean Energy for all Europeans” in the Energy Community legal framework, ECRB gained a number of new competences. This enhances its tools to foster integration of Contracting Parties’ energy markets in the internal EU electricity and natural gas markets, in line with the objectives of the Treaty.
       

  • Delegated acts

    ECRB Delegated acts

    The Energy Community Treaty mandates the ECRB

    • to adopt Procedural Acts;
    • to issue Recommendations on cross-border disputes  involving two or more Regulators, upon request of any of them;
    • take Measures, if so empowered by the Ministerial Council.

    ECRB Publications

    Publications of the Energy Community Regulatory Board (ECRB) are available through the joint Energy Community publication database, offering access to a growing collection of key regulatory documents and insights. As a rule these publications are approved by the Board or result from reporting obligations under the Energy Community acquis.

    The database also features reporting by national regulatory authorities, reflecting their responsibilities under the acquis and contributing to greater transparency and alignment within the Energy Community.

    At present, ECRB documents are classified under three main categories:

    • Work Programmes, setting out annual priorities and planned activities;

    • Annual Reports, providing overviews of the ECRB’s key deliverables and milestones;

    • Monitoring Reports, assessing implementation, compliance, and regulatory performance across the Contracting Parties.
