Abstract: Abstract Andrea Bonzanni provides an overview of the economics of transporting electricity and gas through networks, critically discussing the numerous similarities and the crucial differences between the two energy carriers. The chapter describes the physical and economic properties of energy networks, focusing on their monopolistic nature and the implications for electricity and gas systems. It goes onto review how energy networks are treated in competitive energy markets, how access to networks functions and what arrangements are established to ensure efficient economic outcomes and equal treatment of all market participants. Finally, it explains how access to energy networks is charged and how network users exchange energy within a network.
