Sustainability and resilience are central to RAERESA’s vision. The Association promotes inter-regional collaboration with international agencies and development partners to align the region’s energy regulation with global best practices. This cooperation enhances access to expertise, technology, and funding, strengthening the region’s ability to implement low-carbon strategies.
A major function of RAERESA is to promote norms and standards across the energy supply industry, including environmental safeguards, efficiency measures, and safety regulations. By embedding these into regulatory practice, the Association ensures that energy systems remain reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable.
RAERESA also investigates and addresses issues that impede regional integration, such as inefficiencies or regulatory gaps related to new technologies. It facilitates regional dialogue to ensure solutions are informed by both local realities and international trends.
Through energy efficiency promotion, RAERESA reduces costs and emissions while improving competitiveness. Its work in establishing strong partnerships with regional and international organizations ensures Eastern and Southern Africa remain active contributors to the global energy transition.
By embedding sustainability and efficiency at the heart of regulation, RAERESA is positioning the region as a leader in resilient, low-carbon energy governance that supports long-term prosperity.
