The abundant renewable energy potential of Eastern and Southern Africa—solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass—can only be fully realized through coordinated regulatory action. RAERESA provides a collaborative platform where regulators share information, deliberate on emerging challenges, and coordinate responses to support large-scale renewable energy deployment.
The Association develops policy briefs, research papers, and regulatory guidance on integrating renewables into power systems and markets. It also supports the creation of regional renewable energy corridors and harmonised frameworks that reduce risks and transaction costs for investors, encouraging private sector participation.
RAERESA’s cooperation extends to working with power pools and national control centres to ensure renewable integration does not compromise system reliability. By promoting best practices in market design, licensing, and tariff methodologies, the Association strengthens investor confidence while safeguarding consumers.
These efforts make renewable energy not just a national agenda but a regional opportunity. Through regulatory cooperation, RAERESA is ensuring that clean energy becomes the backbone of sustainable growth, enabling universal access and driving the transition to low-carbon economies.
