About NARUC International

At NARUC, we are committed to improving the quality and effectiveness of energy regulation in the United States and around the world. Through NARUC International, we partner with the United States Agency for the International Development, the United States Department of State, foreign regulatory agencies, and others to support effective energy sectors that enable economic and societal growth.

NARUC International leverages the talents and expertise of state commissioners and staff, helping share lessons learned and forward-thinking practices with regulators internationally. We match the regulatory knowledge of our members and relevant industry collaborators with the experience of our staff to help partner countries meet their energy goals. Our approach provides a 360-view for foreign regulators as they work to enact vital reforms.

Our Vision:

A world where effective regulation enriches livelihoods, grows economies, ensures sustainable and secure energy and provides universal access to high quality public services.

Our Mission:

Empower the global community of regulatory decision makers to drive meaningful change through dialogue, collaboration and engagement with U.S. and international partners.

NARUC deploys a broad suite of tools to assist foreign regulators, including targeted trainings, peer reviews, dialogue facilitation, and the creation of foundational principles documents.

What We Do:

With over one hundred years of regulatory experience across members from the 50 States plus U.S. territories, NARUC understands what it takes to solve the most pressing energy problems facing our world today. We leverage our members’ regulatory experience to help build sustainable environments for investment and growth, working with federal and foreign partners to achieve results.

Our work takes the form of capacity building, technical assistance, regional collaboration and peer-to-peer exchanges, helping partner governments improve their regulatory frameworks. Our projects aim to provide support for advancement within the core competencies of clean energy, tariffs, public engagement, institutional development, energy security, and regional cooperation.
