Governance & Transparency

The Just Energy Transition Investment Platform (JETIP) is overseen by a clear governance framework that aligns national policy, financing, and local priorities to deliver a fair transition. The system includes a high-level council, a national coordinator, a technical unit, thematic working groups, and two regional forums that bring local voices into decision-making.

How JETIP is governed

Just Transition Council (JTC): The Council is the highest decision-making body in the JET governance system. It sets overall national policy direction, identifies priority areas on an annual basis, mobilizes financial resources, and approves major investments and strategies. The members of the JTC are the Ministers representing the following Ministries: Ministry of Energy, Mining and Mineral Resources as the National coordinator, Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economy and Labour, Ministry of Social Affairs and Youth, Ministry of Agriculture and, Ministry of Local Self-governance, ESM, MEPSO and NOMAGAS. The Council operates based on voting: a majority vote (more than 5 out of 10 members) is required for project approval, while more sensitive or high-impact projects require a two-thirds majority. The Council receives regular updates from MoEMMR, the working group members and the Technical Support Unit, and can request further analysis when needed.

Governance Structure & Working Groups

Ministry of Energy, Mining and Mineral Resources (MoEMMR) acts as the national coordinator. It manages and oversees the Just Transition process and ensures communication and collaboration with all stakeholders, including national institutions, donors, and international organizations. It also monitors and reports on the progress of actions defined in the JETIP Joint Declaration. The staff's roles encompass coordination for the decision-making process, monitoring and reporting on the project pipeline, stakeholder coordination, and strategic support.

Technical Support Unit (TSU): Manages day-to-day implementation of the JETIP. It supports the Council and the Steering Committee by organizing meetings, preparing workplans,managing the project pipeline, and monitoring implementation. The TSU ensures coordination between all actors and alignment with strategic objectives.
Thematic Working Groups: There are three Working Groups which members are representatives from the Ministries and state-owned energy companies (which institutions are part of the JTC):
  • Focuses on the technical and regulatory aspects of the energy transition, including renewable energy deployment, energy efficiency, and decarbonization strategies.
  • Develops action plans for achieving national energy targets in line with international climate commitments.
  • Coordinates with the Ministry of Energy and the TSU on technical aspects of energy projects, such as grid modernization and renewable energy investment.
