The Energy Community is an international organisation which brings together the European Union and its neighbours to create an integrated pan-European energy market. The organisation was founded by the Treaty establishing the Energy Community signed in October 2005 in Athens, Greece, in force since July 2006. The key objective of the Energy Community is to extend the EU internal energy market rules and principles to countries in South East Europe, the Black Sea region and beyond on the basis of a legally binding framework. The Energy Community has nine Contracting Parties - Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, North Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and Ukraine. The European Union is a Party to the Energy Community Treaty. Represented by the European Commission, it serves as a permanent Vice-President of the organisation. Any European Union Member State may obtain the status of a Participant. Armenia, Norway and Türkiye take part as Observers.

🙌The Energy Community Secretariat, alongside Moldova National Agency for Energy Regulation, the Ministry of Energy of Republic of Moldova, and key market players, recently held a technical workshop to drive forward a study on Moldova’s gas market. The study will assess the market’s current state, aligning it with national laws and EU best practices, diagnosing the current market landscape and, with input from authorities, system operators, and market participants, charting the path for market development and regional integration. This effort is backed by the EU4Energy Governance project, an EU-funded initiative that’s helping #Moldova #Georgia #Ukraine align their energy sectors with EU standards.

📣 Today, following discussions at the Just Transition Forum in Pristina, the Energy Community Secretariat is spotlighting its new report: "Addressing Energy Poverty in the Energy Community Contracting Parties." This comprehensive analysis - developed with the Energy Poverty Coordination Group - takes on new relevance in the context of ensuring a fair transition, and as we confront the reality that our current energy systems are unsustainable. The report reinforces that tackling energy poverty is not just a social imperative - it’s a vital tool in managing the transition, supporting vulnerable households, and shaping future policies. It includes nine fact sheets with critical insights for each of Energy Community's Contracting Party, illustrating the current status of energy poverty across the region. It's an essential resource for shaping future policies and strengthening long-term strategies.
