With the Support of the Visegrad International Foundation, Trainings on Utility Services Are Being Conducted at the Energy Training Center Near GNERC

With the support of the International Visegrad Fund, the Energy Training Center at the Georgian National Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (GNERC) is conducting training sessions on the regulation of public utilities in the Visegrad countries. Polish, Czech, and Slovak experts from the project's partner organizations are leading these trainings.

Since February this year, with the support of the International Visegrad Foundation (IVF), the Energy Training Center under the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC) has been implementing a project titled "Sharing the Experience of the Visegrad Countries on the Regulation of Utility Services".

Project partners are the Research Center of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association (Slovakia), the Charles University Environment Center (Czechia), and the Partners for Climate Foundation (Poland).

The project aims to leverage the expertise of Poland, Czechia, and Slovakia in utility service regulation. Through the study and analysis of existing frameworks, the project will identify best practices and promote capacity building among local actors. The project has launched a dedicated website, www.v4share.com.

The project encompasses developing a research document on the regulatory framework for utility services, preparing information on successful international case studies, generating articles by partners from Visegrad countries, and organizing educational events, including online training sessions and public lectures. The project activities will focus on the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region. The project is expected to be completed in February 2025.
