Course Context

Building upon the capacity-building activities implemented under CEER’s EU4Energy Phase II, CEER continues the provision of professional training courses to energy officials and experts from the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries (the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine – beneficiary countries).

This two-day interactive training course focuses on promoting energy system flexibility as a key enabler of the clean energy transition in Eastern Partnership countries. Designed for regulatory authorities and energy experts, it provides a clear overview of EU policy drivers and the evolving regulatory frameworks needed to integrate higher shares of renewable energy. Through a mix of expert presentations and practical case studies, participants will explore key topics such as non-fossil flexibility needs, market design solutions, demand response and aggregation models, and the role of dynamic pricing and new residential flexibility sources.  

Special attention is given to storage and co-location, as well as identifying and addressing barriers to flexibility. The course also highlights the growing role of distribution system operators, including flexible connection agreements, innovative tariff structures (e.g. for EVs), and the development of local flexibility markets. Interactive discussions and real-life examples ensure participants gain practical insights to advance flexibility and support the clean energy transition in their national contexts.
