On 18 February 2026, in Lisbon, ERSE – the Energy Services Regulatory Authority – signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI), an independent Norwegian research centre of recognised academic merit in the fields of energy, the environment and international law.

This bilateral cooperation instrument aims to promote the exchange of knowledge on strategic energy transition issues, including decarbonisation, the evolution of energy markets and regulatory frameworks, sustainable energy infrastructure and key trends in the use of clean energy sources.

The signing ceremony for the memorandum of understanding was attended by Professor Siddharth Sareen, representing the FNI, and the President of ERSE, Pedro Verdelho.

ERSE establishes and maintains cooperative relationships with various relevant national and international organizations in the electricity sector, seeking to share best practices, market design trends, and regulatory methodologies, among other things.
