Practical Guide to Women in Energy Regulation

This guide was developed to support energy regulators in low- and middle-income countries in promoting gender equality. The document focuses on the inclusion of women in multiple facets of energy regulation, including employment, energy regulatory policy and energy infrastructure projects. In its first section, the guide provides an overview of the energy regulatory frameworks and opportunities to advance gender equality within the energy regulatory sector. Subsequent sections describe a series of barriers to gender equality in energy regulation and focus on strategies for better integrating women into (1) employment in energy regulatory fields, (2) the creation and implementation of regulatory policy and (3) the development of energy infrastructure
