According to the Commission, the meeting's agenda included issues  related to work carried out under the "EU for Energy" program, the  analysis and systematization of adopted by-laws and regulations,  identifying priorities for their improvement, the possible  harmonization of Armenian legislation with the Energy Community legal  system, and the development of regulations in the field of  electricity storage.

The goal of the event is to promote deeper cooperation between  Armenia and the European Union in the energy sector, as well as to  support the development and implementation of effective, modern  regulations in line with best European practices. During the meeting,  PSRC Chairman Mesrop Mesropyan emphasized the importance of  cooperation with the European Union and other international partners  in the ongoing reform of Armenia's electricity market. He stated that  such formats contribute to the development of modern regulatory  solutions, the implementation of best international practices, and  the sustainable development of the sector.

Armin Buhem, Head of the Armenia Office of the "EU4Energy" program,  also delivered a welcoming speech, noting the importance of the  partnership between Armenia and the European Union in the energy  sector and outlining the work being carried out within the program.

The Energy Community is an international organization focused on  energy policy, uniting the EU and its neighbors to create a single  pan-European energy market. It helps member countries integrate  markets, implement European standards, and develop local "green"  microgrids for energy exchange.

The organization was established by international treaty in 2006.
