• TARGET GROUPS: The EU4Energy Governance Project Phase II primarily supports the ministries responsible for energy policy, as well as other relevant ministries and agencies: ministries responsible for economy, regional development, industry, environment, transport, new technologies and corresponding parliamentary (or relevant legislative authority) committees, TSOs and DSOs for electricity and gas; national regulatory authorities, national statistical institutes/offices, energy agencies or funds.
   

EU4Energy Governance Project Phase II is to achieve clean energy transition, increase energy security in the three Eastern partner countries and facilitate access to energy to the distressed population in Ukraine to mitigate the impact of the war.

Common to the beneficiary countries, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, is their close ties with the EU institutional setting. The three 

• have already signed Association Agreements with the EU;
• form a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA), with the EU in the energy sector, and,
• hold 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.
