The Chairman of the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission, Davit Narmania, and Commissioner  Giorgi Pangani participated in the 20th Anniversary Event of the Energy Community, held in Athens, Greece.

The event gathered high-level officials from the Energy Community Contracting Parties and representatives of European energy institutions. The participants underscored the importance of partnership and close cooperation among countries in the energy sector.

The Energy Community was established in 2005 in Athens under international treaties. The founding parties to the Energy Community Treaty include the European Union and the Contracting Parties from Southeast Europe and the Black Sea region. In 2016, the Protocol on the Accession of Georgia to the Energy Community was signed, and since 2017, Georgia has been a full-fledged member of the Energy Community. The main objective of the Energy Community is to extend the European Union’s energy legislation and market principles to non-EU countries, based on a legally binding framework.
