European Regulators' Group for Electricity and Gas (ERGEG)
ERGEG is a committee of the national electricity and gas regulators in the European Union. It was set up by the European Commission under the "comitology" procedure in 2003.
Its role is to advise the Commission on technical regulatory matters. It also appears to seek a much more executive and powerful role for itself, aspiring to act as a quasi-regulator of EU-level electricity and gas issues.
ERGEG is closely associated with CEER, the voluntary association of the same regulators together with the national regulators of the EFTA EEA states (with the exception of Bulgaria, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg). Since March 2008 the two organisations share a website (apparently managed by E-Control, the Austrian regulator) at http://www.energy-regulators.eu/.
