NARUC International Programs seeks to empower the global community of regulators to drive meaningful change in their energy sectors. Working in partnership with U.S. and international officials, our projects support real improvements in the quality and effectiveness of regulation in foreign countries through dialogue and collaboration. We use the talents and expertise of state commissioners and staff in our work, sharing the best of what the NARUC community has to offer.
At NARUC, we are committed to improving the quality and effectiveness of energy regulation in the United States and around the world. Through NARUC International, we partner with the United States Agency for the International Development (USAID), the United States Department of State, foreign regulatory agencies, and others to support effective energy sectors that enable economic and societal growth.
NARUC deploys a broad suite of tools to assist foreign regulators, including targeted trainings, peer reviews, dialogue facilitation, and the creation of foundational principles documents. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, NARUC International Programs is currently engaging in a range of virtual activities with our partners such as webinars and web-based workshops. These activities still involve volunteer input, and we encourage you to participate and reach out to us at international@naruc.org with any questions.
