With the support of the International Visegrad Fund (IVF), representatives of foreign partner organizations conducted training sessions at the Energy Training Center under the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC). Czech and Polish experts shared their knowledge on energy sector transformation, regulatory sandboxes, decarbonization, and energy storage regulation. Since February this year, with the support of the International Visegrad Foundation (IVF), the project titled "Sharing the Experience of the Visegrad Countries on the Regulation of Utility Services" is being implemented. 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.
