EU4Energy Governance

The EU4Energy Programme Phase II was launched by the European Union, as part of its Regional Action Programme – East. The action builds on the work of the EU4Energy Programme Phase I and the lessons learnt from it. Implemented by the International Energy Agency, the Energy Community Secretariat and the Energy Charter Secretariat, EU4Energy Phase I was active between 2016 and 2020. 

The new phase spans between 2021 and 2024, and the first implementation actions will start to take place as of July 2021. The project will be managed and implemented from a budget of EUR 1 894 796 by the Secretariat via a dedicated unit specially assigned for this task.

The objective of EU4Energy Project Phase II is to foster the clean energy transition and decarbonisation in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine and to contribute to the post 2020 Eastern Partnership architecture. These countries have already signed Association Agreements, including a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA), with the EU in the energy sector and they have a status of Contracting Parties within the scope of the Energy Community Treaty. The action will provide support through evidence-based energy policy design and through a transposition and implementation of the Energy Community acquis / DCFTA / EU best practice legal framework.
