CFAs: Institutional Support to the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Utilities of Ukraine

The European Commission is funding a €1.5 million, 24-month Twinning project to strengthen the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Utilities of Ukraine (NEURC). The project aims to align electricity market regulation with EU rules and support Ukraine’s integration into the European internal electricity market. The €1.5 million is the project budget, not an individual grant award. NEURC regulates and oversees Ukraine’s energy and utilities sectors. This project focuses specifically on strengthening its ability to regulate the electricity market in line with the EU acquis, the body of EU rules and obligations relevant to integration.

The European Commission has also identified electricity market integration as a part of its broader energy cooperation with Ukraine. The project has a total EU-funded budget of €1,500,000 and an implementation period of 24 months.
