ITS Technical Assistance to Georgia in the field of Energy Statistics in the extension period (Feb. 2015 – Jan. 2016)

Objective

Georgia is one of the nine INOGATE PCs that have agreed upon an Energy Statistics Action Plan (ESAP) with ITS. Georgia beneficiaries have worked actively to implement the ESAP during 2012-2014.

The overarching objective of the Technical Assistance to Georgia is to improve its energy statistics systems and to increase the capacity of GEOSTAT to collect and compile energy statistics harmonised with EU and international standards.

Another objective is to consolidate the work on Energy Statistics carried out since 2012.
