Company Overview
Energy Community
Vienna, Austria
2005
Approximately 30 employees (as of December 2021) (source: wikipedia.org). The organization is funded by contributions from its 10 members, including the EU and 9 contracting parties.
What They Do
The Energy Community is an international organization established by treaty to extend the EU's energy policy, including renewable energy, to non-EU countries in Southeast Europe and beyond. Its secretariat in Vienna acts as the operational body and assists the contracting parties in aligning national laws with EU directives (source: energy.ec.europa.eu). The organization focuses on creating an integrated regional energy market that attracts investments in generation and networks and promotes cross-border trade.
Projects & Achievements
Notable projects include the Projects of Energy Community Interest (PECIs), which were approved by the Ministerial Council on December 12, 2024. These include five cross-border electricity transmission projects among the contracting parties, as well as an energy storage project aimed at integrating markets and supporting decarbonization (source: energy.ec.europa.eu). Additionally, the contracting parties are working on National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs), with the plans from Ukraine and Georgia to be completed by August 2024, while Albania and North Macedonia have adopted their target versions before 2030.
Recent Developments
In the past two years, there have been significant announcements, including the Ministerial Council's decision on December 12, 2024, to establish the first PECI list with five transmission and one storage project (source: energy.ec.europa.eu). Progress on NECP adoptions in Ukraine and Georgia is also noteworthy, while Albania and North Macedonia require updates. The organization has not reported any acquisitions or mergers, as it is funded by a treaty, but the expansions of the treaty acquis, such as the ambitious targets for 2030, are still ongoing.
Working There
Job openings focus on the secretariat in Vienna, where roles in policy analysis, legal drafting for alignment with EU law, as well as compliance monitoring and administrative support for institutions and forums are offered (source: wikipedia.org). The culture is multinational and technically oriented, allowing for a rapid response to crises such as supporting Ukraine after the invasion in 2022. Employees come from 18 nationalities, indicating an international team specializing in energy policy and law.
