EFRWS 2025

The 4th European Forum on the Regulation of Water Services (EFRWS25) examined how European water regulation turns EU objectives on resilience, competitiveness and sustainability into practice—through tariff frameworks for resilience, performance benchmarking and KPIs, and extended producer responsibility (EPR). The programme featured three consecutive panels dedicated to these themes.

The Forum was held on December 4th 2025 from 9.00 to 16.30 at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Rue du Musée / Museumstraat 9, 1000, Brussels.

EFRWS25 Agenda

What is EFRWS?

EFRWS is the European Forum on the Regulation of Water Services.

It’s the first multi-stakeholder conference focused entirely on economic regulation in the drinking water and wastewater sector, currently in its 4th Edition.

The 3rd Forum, held in 2023 spotlighted EU Green Deal water reforms. The 2nd Forum,  held in 2021, concentrated on the green transition and circular economy in the water sector. The inaugural Forum in 2019, in Rome, initiated discussions on water governance and sustainability.
