Alexei Taran from Moldova elected President of the Energy Community Regulatory Board 

The Energy Community Regulatory Board has elected Alexei Taran, General Director of Moldova’s National Agency for Energy Regulation, ANRE, as its new President for a two-year term, the Energy Community Secretariat announced on 3 June.

The Energy Community Regulatory Board is the independent regional body of energy regulators in the Energy Community. It serves as a platform for regulatory coordination, supporting the harmonisation of rules, the development of best practices and the implementation of the EU energy acquis across the region. 

“In his new role, Taran will lead the ECRB at a time of expanding regulatory responsibilities, particularly in relation to the Electricity Integration Package. This key legislation provides the legal basis for the Energy Community’s electricity market coupling with the European Union,” says a press release by the Energy Community Secretariat. “Taran also committed to using his term to strengthen the framework for implementing REMIT, the Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency.”

Taran will replace Ymer Fejzullahu who served as ECRB President for the past two years.
