EU4Energy: Tbilisi hosts 150 participants at Energy Efficiency Training Week

150 participants from 11 countries across Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia are now in Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi to attend the five-day EU4Energy Energy Efficiency Training Week.

Organised in partnership with Georgia’s Ministry of Energy, the International Energy Agency launched the trainings on October 16.

The EU4Energy Energy Efficiency Training Week consists of five parallel courses on energy efficiency across demand sectors - buildings; industry; lighting, appliances and equipment; transport; as well as energy efficiency statistics.

Participants will take part in a variety of in-depth seminars, interactive discussions and exercises on policy, regulations, statistics and standards in each course, along with a site visit.

Participants will all attend sessions on assessing the potential for energy efficiency, tracking progress, communication campaigns and finance as well as measuring the social and economic benefits of energy-efficiency measures.

As Georgia’s Ministry of Energy reported the program was traditionally hosted by Paris, France. This is the first time when the training is being held in the region and in Tbilisi.
