Georgia - Technical Assistance Project in Support of the Georgian Energy Sector Reform Programme (GESRP)
The project will support the reform of the Georgian electricity market to one that is strongly aligned with the EU’s internal electricity market. This means that the Project contributes to the implementation of a reform for the Georgian electricity market, in alignment with commitments made under Georgia´s accession to the En-ergy Community, into one that conforms to the EU´s Third Energy Package. In support of the reform, a tech-nical assistance package, i.e. this Project, was designed in order to support the Georgian energy sector’s de-velopment.
The Technical Assistance Measures (TAMs) are divided into four components:
Component 1: Energy efficiency regulation including standards
Component 2: Energy performance in buildings (EE in buildings)
Component 3: Renewable energy
Component 4: Power market regulation

Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) II
The Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP), co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the German government and implemented by GIZ in collaboration with the Federal ministry of Power, Works and Housing (FMPWH), builds upon an initial 4-year phase during which NESP supported, inter alia, regulatory reforms allowing for the integration of variable ER, notably solar, into the grid.; the development of a structured bidding approach for competitive procurement of on-grid solar capacities and to enhance and better grid planning and operations. The programme also supported general policy formulation and sector coordination.
During its second phase, NESP will continue supporting on all these aspects. Additionally, NESP II will support project driven structured bidding approaches in line with government strategies, extend the transmission focus towards the distribution level and will support additional regulatory topics, e.g. with regards to ancillary services
