Electricity

The electricity sector is a new sector of cooperation in the INOGATE Programme.  The work in the electricity sector focuses on the convergence of energy policies between the EU and the Partner Countries as well as issues of safety and security of networks and supplies.
 
The first INOGATE project in the electricity sector will begin in mid-2009 and will focus on the harmonisation of electricity standards. Updates can be found under INOGATE projects.
 
This section of the INOGATE web portal provides information related to the electricity sector through presenting a series of links to relevant studies, reports, position papers, market reviews, working documents, etc.  Links are to PDF documents unless otherwise specified.
