CEER status review on regulatory authorities Recently, the Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER), whose members are the national energy regulatory authorities in Europe, published a “Status Review on Regulatory Approaches to Enabling Smart Grid Solutions”. The CEER compiled the report through a survey of the national regulatory authorities. It reviews the ways in which different European countries approach the development of smart grids and the regulatory challenges faced by each. The report is not prescriptive – it gives no policy recommendations – but rather it is a refection of what the regulators see as the main (regulatory) issues surrounding the development of smart grids in their countries. The report addresses who the major actors in smart grids development will be, the encouragement of innovative solutions as well as performance indicators and incentive schemes for regulating network output. 7
