The target audience is the group of INOGATE countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekhistan) as the project is developed within the framework contract of ERRA with the European Commission called “Capacity Building for sustainable energy regulation in Eastern Europe and Central Asia”. The textbook covers the following issues:
