Interconnecting the Internal Electricity market: A Goal without a Plan?

H. Bjornebye

Competition and Regulation in Network Industries, 2006, vol. 7, issue 3, 333-354

Abstract: This article discusses how the Community may promote interconnector investments necessary for the establishment of a rational European electricity network. Community control with such investments may be exercised by applying a number of different instruments under EC Law, such as Community and Member State aid provisions, tariff regulation and the assessment of third party access exemptions. However, even though these mechanisms provide the Community with substantial influence over national investment decisions, the author argues that Community control options are too fragmented to guarantee the investments necessary to establish a well-functioning internal electricity market.
