Director General of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), Dian Kiptoba, has outlined the commitment of energy regulators in ensuring a seamless supply of energy in the East African community.
Speaking at an annual general assembly for the East African Republic Regulators Association, which is an association of regulators in the electricity, renewable energy and downstream and upstream petroleum sectors in the region, Kiptoba said there has been a lot of collaboration and exchange of ideas in relation to energy trade.
He said the association is looking at putting in place the right regulatory frameworks and ensuring there is standardization. "We are here to deliberate on issues with respect to the association and collaboration within the East African region with respect to energy and petroleum," he said.
The DG said there are a lot of collaborations and partnerships at the bilateral level, between country to country but also within the association, to foster information sharing and knowledge sharing since it's the first basis for collaboration.
