Further unbundling in European energy markets
Issues raised by the European Commission's recent statements
The European Commission have suggested that new legislation relating to transmission network unbundling is needed to improve the functioning of the internal energy market. Whether the status quo has been tested sufficiently, or whether the direction of the measures suggested by the Commission is appropriate will be a matter of fierce debate over the coming months. However, if Member States do approve the principle of new unbundling legislation, the debate is likely to move to which of the two models the Commission has suggested is preferable. This briefing examines some of the key issues which would be raised if some form of legislative change were approved.
