On the status, main trends and prospects of activity the CIS Electric Power Council and its working body - Executive Committee of the CIS Electric Power Council

The CIS Electric Power Council was created by the Intergovernmental Agreement on coordination of interstate relations in the CIS electric power industry of February 14, 1992. On November 22, 2007 and November 20, 2013, the Council of the Heads of Government of the CIS signed the Protocols on Amendments to the Agreement of February 14, 1992.

The Commonwealth is an interstate entity with a wide scope of joint activities and a developed organizational structure and is a subject of international law. The fundamental documents of the Commonwealth do not contain rules that directly determine the legal status of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Among scientists and practitioners, the concept that recognizes the Commonwealth of Independent States as a regional international organization is considered the most justified.

The CIS Electric Power Council consists of the heads of the relevant state authorities and national electricity companies of the participating states, which are vested with the respective powers by the states.

The CIS Electric Power Council in its activities is guided by the Charter of the Commonwealth of Independent States, international treaties within the CIS, primarily in the field of electricity, as well as the Decisions of the Council of Heads of State and the Council of Heads of Government of the CIS.

The main tasks and functions of the Council include:

assistance to the CIS member states in the unification and harmonization of regulatory legal acts in the field of electric power;
development of international relations in the interests of the CIS member states and participation in the work of international energy organizations, etc.

The Council is headed by the President and Vice-President , who are elected from among the members of the Council in rotation for a period of 1 year.
