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 2026, and the first implementation actions started as of July 2021. The project will be managed and implemented from a budget of EUR 5807428 by the Secretariat via a dedicated unit specially assigned for this task.
• EU4Energy Governance Project Phase II is to achieve the clean energy transition, increase energy security in three Eastern partner countries (Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) and facilitate access to energy to the distressed population in Ukraine to mitigate the impact of the war.

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.”
