Background In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, signed on December 22, 1997 in Athens by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Hellenic Republic, the Republic of Ar?menia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, the first Trilateral meeting of the Committee on Energy issues was held in Yerevan on June 3, 1998. During this meeting an MoU was signed. Article 2 of the ΜοU previews the establishment of an energy database with access restricted to the Parties in?volved. According to this article a Working Group was es?tablished for the elaboration of Terms of Reference and the implementation of the project. The Working Group meeting was organised by the Centre for Renewable Ener?gy Sources (CRES) of the Hellenic Republic and held in Athens on October 5 and 6 1998. The Working Group dis?cussed all issues concerning the project and prepared these ToR.

Technical Description 2.1 Objective of the project The objective of implementation of this project is to es?tablish an information network in these three member countries and develop a common database on energy in order to exchange, share and present relevant information. 2.2 Work Programme of the project-Tasks In order to achieve the above mentioned objective, the project is splitted into four main tasks: 2.2.1 Task 1: Exchange of information During this task there will be an exchange of a wide range of energy information resources including, basic infor?mation on energy planning in each country, energy busi?ness information, books, journals, newsletters as well as videotapes, software and CD - ROMs; 2.2 Task 2: Development of the common database During this task a common database for the storage, elaboration and retrieval of energy information will be de?signed and developed under the technical responsibility of CRES. The energy data that will be included in the com?mon database will cover the following information domain: Energy Related Activities Journal Programmes concerning the Energy Sector Energy Projects Energy related regulations, incentives and standards Key player organisations and market data Energy Supply and Demand Installations for the supply and transformation of Energy products (oil and gas fields, power plants, petroleum re?fineries) Summary data on energy production, transformation and consumption (energy balance sheets) Cartographic data Electricity network ΕΦΗΜΕΡΙΣ ΤΗΣ ΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΕΩΣ (ΤΕΥΧΟΣ ΠΡΩΤΟ) 2717 Oil refineries LNG plants In annex I a specific presentation of the contents of the database is presented. The data should be classified according to the following level of accessibility: • Public: containing data that could be available to anyone. • Partially restricted: containing data that could be shared only among the three countries. All the Energy information coming from the three partici?pating countries should be organised using the same database structure and format. 2.2.3 Task 3: Use of Wide Area Network (WAN - Internet) According to the above classification, an Internet database will be developed and operate in a way that the three member countries will be able to exchange, share and present energy information. In addition CRES will in?stall and operate this database on their own server. 2.2.4 Training During this task there will be user's specific awareness with training programmes for the three member countries experts concerning the design of energy databases and application of energy planning model; 2.3 Planning of the project The duration of the project will be one year and a pro?posed time table is shown in table 1: Table 1: Time table Task Month 1 2 3 4 2.4 Responsibilities of the member countries Center for Renewable Energy Sources, from Hellenic Re?public, is the responsible institute for the technical co-ordi?nation of the project. CRES will be responsible for the development of the en?ergy database as well as the operation of the internet ver?sion of this database (task 3) and the training activities (task 4). All member countries (Republic of Armenia, Hellenic Re?public and Islamic Republic of Iran) have the responsibility of collecting organising and evaluating the energy- information required for the database development (tasks 1 and 2).
