According to The Energy Times' exclusive report, climate change and energy security were center stage at the global gathering. Regulators from around the world discussed the technological and economic transformation of the electric power business – in every corner of the world.

Lord Mogg, chairman of the International Confederation of Energy Regulators, told the gathering, "Wherever they are in the world, citizens and businesses alike want secure, sustainable and affordable energy. In sharing our expertise and experiences across the world, we regulators learn from each other and are better able to tackle global challenges including energy security."
