INOGATE Network

Together with the European Commission, the INOGATE Programme is steered by nominated representatives in each Partner Country. Each Partner Country has nominated an official INOGATE Contact Point referred to as the "INOGATE Country Coordinator" who is a focal point for INOGATE information in that country. The Coordinators are generally located within each country's energy ministries.

Partner Countries also appoint expert representatives to the INOGATE Working Groups, each of which represents one of INOGATE's four 'pillars':  market convergence, energy security, energy efficiency/sustainable energy, and investment attraction. Representatives are also nominated by energy regulatory authorities of Partner Countries. Regular meetings are held with Country Coordinators and Working Group Members to discuss and plan INOGATE activities and strategies. Country Coordinators and Working Group Members also interact as appropriate with INOGATE projects in their countries.  All the nominated representatives are referred to as the INOGATE network and the full list of the currently nominated representatives for each position and country are presented below.
