an opportunity for EEMG Ombudsmen to take stock and propose recommendations for

improvement. They also discussed the impact of the energy crisis on customer relations.

2024 Annual Meeting

of the EEMG (European

Energy Mediators Group)

Each member presented their innovative projects and initi-

atives. The EDP Group Ombudsman spoke about integrating

artif icial intelligence into case analysis and management

processes, the result of an ambitious, collaborative internal

project.

For its part, the ENGIE Group Mediation Service unveiled

its new referral form, designed to facilitate access to medi-

ation. Claimants can now submit requests directly from a

smartphone without the need for a computer scanner or

printer This project implemented in consultation with con

sumer associations marks a major step forward in terms of

accessibility

Regulator in Portugal

Training to provide better support: a key

requirement of mediation

This year, the EEMG organised an event for the independ-

ent mediation bodies of the major European energy groups,

including ENGIE France and Belgium, EDF France and Italy,

EDISON Italy, EDP Group, E-Redes and SU Eletricidade

Portugal, E-Redes Spain and Fondazione Banco dell'energia

A2A Italy.

Training is fundamental for an independent consumer medi

ation body particularly in the energy sector Mediators must

have indepth knowledge of the French Energy Code and

Consumer Code as well as of regulatory technical and con

tractual changes in order to propose appropriate and fair

solutions based on legal principles and fairness

The Mediation team thus follows a rigorous and ongoing train

ing programme which guarantees the quality and relevancy

of its work In 2024 this training programme was further

expanded to cover crucial issues such as cyber security

health and safety in the workplace and the prevention

of psychosocial risks These issues must be addressed to

protect the wellbeing of mediation of f icers who deal with

the concerns and expectations of claimants on a daily basis
