Summary:

The report provides a summary of the 2024-2025 activities of the BRIDGE Regulation Working Group (WG) which was established from the beginning of the BRIDGE initiative to foster knowledge sharing among projects funded by Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programmes in different regulatory aspects in the field of energy. The Regulation WG, as the entire BRIDGE initiative, structures its activities on a yearly basis. In the last years, different topics have been addressed, resulting in most cases in specific reports that can be shared not only within the BRIDGE community, but with a larger audience. The Regulation WG is a live group where projects join and leave as they evolve. This “staff rotation” facilitates a dynamic environment for the introduction of new topics of interest. The WG continuously looks for synergies with other BRIDGE working groups, and with those outside BRIDGE (ISGAN, ETIP SNET, …). The WG defines the most important regulatory challenges to be addressed, proposes best practices from the BRIDGE projects and formulates recommendations for policy makers. In addition, thematic knowledge sharing sessions are organised to present best practices from projects that are close to their end date.
