The overall objective of this assignment is to assist the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources in Armenia (MoENR) in identifying the legal and regulatory gaps with regards to Third Party Access in the country’s electricity transmission network with a focus on the new interconnection between Georgia and Armenia. Third Party Access (TPA) is one of the cornerstones of the EU Single European Energy Market and has been a key requirement since the adoption of the 2nd energy package i.e. the Directives 2003/54/EC & 2003/55/EC for electricity and gas markets, respectively. At the moment TPA is not formally organised in Armenia but according to previous reviews and analyses elements of TPA do exist (i.e. access of generators to networks and connection tariffs). The aims of the assignment are to:
1) analyse and understand the extent on which TPA is currently applied in the Armenian transmission system;
2) evaluate and propose the most appropriate regulatory model for the new interconnection taking into consideration the provisions of EC Regulation 714/2009;
3) develop proposals for legal and regulatory amendments so that an appropriate regulatory model can be applied and enforced at least by the time of the completion of construction of the new interconnection between Armenia and Georgia
