| Abstract | Energy networks within the EU have historically been constructed and operated on a national basis by vertically integrated monopolies, usually in full or partial state ownership, with the state’s interest exercised either by central or regional governments. The EU’s interest in enhancing co-operation and integration of EU-wide energy networks has grown since the 1980s. EU policy was initially focused primarily on economic objectives of liberalisation and the development of an efficient internal market. However, the objectives have broadened over the last ten years to encompass issues of environmental sustainability and security of supply. This case study shows how co-operation on energy regulation has evolved over the years to become increasingly formalised and legally binding. |
