Energy & Society

Energy Regions in Transition aimed to systematically share best practices and insights between energytransition regions across Europe, North America and China. The project created structured opportunities for crossregional learning—bringing together technical, societal and policy perspectives to accelerate effective and inclusive grid transformation. 

It enabled regions facing diverse energy transition challenges to draw on proven approaches from peers worldwide. By facilitating knowledge exchange on electricity grid development, renewable energy integration, stakeholder engagement and decarbonisation pathways, it helped regions avoid mistakes, scale solutions quickly and foster stronger collaboration on policy frameworks essential for the clean energy transition. 

Our learning journeys 

In 2015 and 2016, RGI brought a delegations of European energy leaders to the US. They visited the States for a whole week full of high-level discussions, educational tours and site visits in New York, San Francisco, the Silicon Valley and Sacramento. 

The CAISO Stakeholder Symposium topped off both trips, bringing together 1000 attendees, including energy executives, policymakers and the CAISO Board of Governors. 

In 2018, we went to the other side of the world and visted China to learn more about the Chinese approach to the energy transition and their plans for global interconnection. 

In 2019, we travelled with a group of colleagues from the European energy world to exchange with their counterparts from industry, policy and civil society in Canada.
