The meeting focused on key reform steps in the energy sector, as well as on the country’s progress in aligning with European energy policies.

The discussions focused on:

In this regard, preparations are being finalised for the launch of the Intraday Market, which is expected to become operational in May this year. At the same time, work is underway on MEMO’s full membership in AIB, as one of the steps towards the recognition of Guarantees of Origin in EU countries.
