Core offering

ICER is a voluntary international confederation that brings together energy regulatory associations from around the world to promote the exchange of regulatory research, expertise, and best practices. Its core deliverables include the triennial World Forum on Energy Regulation (WFER) conference, the ICER Chronicle professional magazine, Virtual Working Groups on technology and innovation, hydrogen, and regulatory independence, and community programs such as Women in Energy and School 2 Energy Leaders. These offerings serve 270+ regulatory authorities globally rather than functioning as commercial products.

Product overview

ICER is a voluntary international framework for cooperation between energy regulators, not a product company. Its offerings consist of programs and initiatives: the World Forum on Energy Regulation (WFER) as its flagship triennial conference; the Women in Energy (WIE) initiative with mentoring, peer coaching, and webinars; Virtual Working Groups covering Technology & Innovation, Hydrogen, and Regulatory Independence; The ICER Chronicle professional magazine; the Distinguished Scholar Awards recognizing energy regulation scholarship; and the School 2 Energy Leaders outreach program. These initiatives collectively serve to exchange information, best practices, and promote cooperation among energy regulators globally.

Direct peers

• National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC): NARUC is the US association of public utility regulators and an ICER founding member. It is a direct peer in function (voluntary regulator cooperation body) and a key channel into US/International energy regulatory dialogue.
• Mediterranean Energy Regulators (MEDREG): MEDREG is the association of Mediterranean energy regulators and an ICER founding member. It is a direct peer in serving as a regional voluntary cooperation framework for energy regulators.
• Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER): CEER is the regional association of European energy regulators and one of ICER's 11 founding member associations. It is directly comparable as a voluntary cooperation framework for national energy regulators.
• African Forum for Utility Regulators (AFUR): AFUR is the association of African utility regulators and an ICER founding member. It is a direct peer as a regional voluntary framework for energy/utility regulators on the African continent.
• Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA): ERRA is the regional association for energy regulators across Europe and Central Asia and an ICER founding member. It is directly comparable as a voluntary energy regulator cooperation framework with training and events.

Broad incumbents

• International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA): IRENA is the intergovernmental agency supporting the renewable energy transition. It is comparable as an international institution engaging energy regulators on renewable integration, though focused on technology deployment rather than regulation per se.
• World Energy Council (WEC): WEC is the global energy membership body spanning the full energy value chain, including regulators. It is comparable as a long-standing international energy cooperation forum that hosts conferences and dialogue at global scale.
• EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER): ACER is the EU-wide regulator coordinating national energy regulators across member states. It is comparable as an institutional body fostering energy regulator cooperation, though it operates with formal EU authority rather than purely voluntary cooperation.
• International Energy Agency (IEA): IEA is the intergovernmental energy policy organization focused on energy security, data, and analysis. It is comparable as an international body engaging with energy regulators on policy and data, though its mandate is broader than regulation.

Others

• Florence School of Regulation (FSR): FSR is an academic center at the European University Institute specializing in regulation, with a strong energy stream. It is comparable as a partner delivering training, research, and policy exchange relevant to energy regulators.
