Project Description

Non-discriminatory, transparent and predictable regulatory frameworks are essential for the development of energy markets. Energy sector regulatory frameworks are continuously evolving as reforms are undertaken and new challenges emerge. An important mechanism for addressing regulatory challenges and improving the quality of regulation is the exchange of knowledge between regulators in EBRD’s CoOs and more experienced counterparts. Peer-to-peer policy dialogue can strengthen the capacity of regulators in our CoOs, increasing the confidence of investors in regulatory frameworks and facilitating private sector investment.
The Framework is consistent with the Bank’s mandate and priorities:

The Bank’s Energy Sector Strategy (BDS13-291/F) specifically highlights policy dialogue through “exchanges between regulators within the Bank's region as well as peer-to-peer policy dialogue between regulators.”
Given the critical importance of sound regulatory frameworks for the further development of renewable technologies, the Framework is also aligned with the Bank’s Green Economy Transition (BDS15-196/F) approach.
The Framework builds on an MoU with the International Confederation of Energy Regulators (ICER) (of which CEER is a founding member).

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
