ERSE signs Memorandum of Understanding with the Fridtjof Nansen Institute
The agreement strengthens cooperation on energy transition research and regulatory development in Europe.
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.
The agreement strengthens cooperation 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 collaboration is particularly relevant for FNI’s ongoing research on energy transitions in Europe, including the recently funded FEASIBILITY project, which examines how climate and energy policies become politically and socially implementable across different national contexts.
The signing ceremony was attended by Professor Siddharth Sareen on behalf of FNI and Pedro Verdelho, President of ERSE.
The memorandum provides a framework for future joint activities, knowledge exchange and research dialogue between the two institutions.
