Council of European Energy Regulators

The Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) is a non-profit organisation in which Europe's national energy regulators voluntarily cooperate to protect consumer interests and to facilitate the creation of a single, competitive and sustainable internal market for gas and electricity in Europe.
Foundation and mission.
In March 2000, ten national energy regulatory authorities voluntarily signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" for the establishment of the Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER). CEER's objective is to facilitate cooperation among Europe's energy regulators in promoting a single-EU electricity and gas market. In 2003 the CEER was formally established as a "not-for-profit association" under Belgian law, with its own Brussels-based Secretariat. CEER represents 30 Members - the national energy regulators from the EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and Great Britain as CEER Members, and the regulators of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, Republic of North Macedonia, Republic of Serbia and the Swiss Confederation as Observers.
CEER works closely with the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). ACER is a European Community body with legal personality. ACER became fully operational on 3 March 2011. Its seat is in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Objectives and functions.
CEER seeks to facilitate the creation of a single, competitive, efficient and sustainable market for gas and electricity in Europe.
Some other objectives:
CEER acts as a platform for cooperation, information exchange and assistance between national energy regulators and is their interface at European level with the EU Institutions.
CEER establishes expert views for discussion with the European Commission (in particular DG Energy) and seeks to provide the necessary elements for the development of regulation in the fields of electricity and gas.
CEER also strives to share regulatory experience worldwide through its links with similar regional energy regulatory associations. 
Members.
CEER membership is open to the national energy regulatory authorities of the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). The CEER now has 30 Members, including energy regulators in the 27 EU-Member States plus Iceland, Norway and Great Britain - as well as nine Observers - the energy regulators from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, Republic of North Macedonia, Republic of Serbia and the Swiss Confederation.
