The ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA) has received funding from the African Development Fund in the form of a “Grant” toward the cost of undertaking studies and developing appropriate tools and instruments to facilitate the harmonization of regional regulatory frameworks in the ECOWAS region.

ERERA intends to apply a portion of the agreed amount for this grant to eligible long-term staff costs for program management of the Harmonization of Regulatory Frameworks and Tools for Improved Electricity Regulation in ECOWAS.

The principal objective of this project is to facilitate the efficient utilization of regional energy infrastructure to further enhance regional electricity trade. Through these activities and the resulting tools, ERERA will assist national regulatory bodies to acquire adequate knowledge that would enable them to carry out the necessary regulatory work in developing the regional market at the national level.

The program will focus on the following components: (i) Development of Regulatory and Utility Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for ECOWAS, (ii) Harmonized Comparison of Electricity Tariffs (HCET) in ECOWAS and Cost Reflectivity Assessment, (iii) Development of a Climate informed Energy Information and Database Management System (EIDBMS), (iv) Assessment of Investment bottlenecks and risks in ECOWAS member countries, and (v) Program Management which will be co-financed with ERERA.
