Under the training programs organized by the Energy Training Center, 900 participants earned certificates in recognition of their qualification enhancement in 2024. The sessions, focused on energy and water supply, saw participation from representatives of regulated companies, businesses, tourism organizations, university students, and schoolchildren.
Furthermore, the Energy Training Center launched an exclusive educational project titled “The Path of Electricity from Production to Its Consumption”.
With the support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Energy Training Center implemented the project “The Role of Renewable Energy in Addressing Climate Change and Air Pollution”. The project’s goal was to raise awareness among students and youth in selected schools across the municipalities of Samegrelo-Zemo-Svaneti, Guria, and Imereti regions about the importance of renewable energy in combating climate change and air pollution.
In addition to various other initiatives, the Energy Training Center launched a project in 2024 titled “Sharing the Experience of the Visegrad Countries on the Regulation of Public Utility Services”, which is still ongoing. As part of the project, the website v4share.com was created.
Funded by the Visegrad International Foundation, the project involves key partners including the Research Center of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association (RC SFPA) in Slovakia, the Charles University Environment Center in the Czech Republic, and the Partners for Climate Foundation (P4C) in Poland. The project aims to share the utility service regulation experiences of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia with Georgia. It focuses on studying and analyzing the regulatory frameworks of these countries and, based on the findings, supporting the capacity-building of local stakeholders by incorporating the best practices from the Visegrad countries.
