To achieve a truly integrated regional power market, RAERESA works to harmonise policies, legislation, and market structures across COMESA member states. This involves facilitating coordination on key regulatory issues, developing model frameworks, and addressing inconsistencies that hinder cross-border electricity trade.
The Association produces research studies, comparative analyses, and position papers on energy regulation, benchmarking regional approaches against international best practices. These insights guide reforms that make regulatory systems more predictable, transparent, and investor-friendly. RAERESA also plays a proactive role in resolving issues raised by members or arising from regional integration efforts, ensuring barriers do not delay progress.
Through its efforts, RAERESA encourages the creation and strengthening of independent regulators, critical for fair competition and consumer protection. It also works closely with national and regional stakeholders to design rules and standards that support transparent energy pricing, efficient markets, and cross-border cooperation.
By aligning national frameworks with regional and global goals, RAERESA is laying the groundwork for a competitive, integrated, and future-ready regional electricity market—one that expands access, attracts investment, and secures reliable power for the region.
