This WAREG report studies the impact of the energy crisis on the water and waste-water utility sector and reviews measures undertaken by WAREG members to address the crisis.

The findings of the WAREG Report are based on data from 18 member regulators collected through a structured questionnaire as well as interviews with regulator representatives. These discussions sought to understand the extent to which the regulatory governance and the tariff framework among WAREG members are suitable to address the energy crisis.

The experience of countries already affected by the crisis may provide an insight into what can be expected from other WAREG members. Policy predictability and the continued experience sharing among the WAREG member base will have critical importance in addressing the impact of the crisis. Detailed case studies in selected countries are analysed and provided in the report.
