E05-PC-04-01a Public Consultation: The Creation of Regional Electricity Markets (Cover Note) Document Size: 107294 bytes
Outcome of the Public Consultation
The result of this public consultation was the launch by ERGEG (with the backing of the European Commission) of the Electricity Regional Initiative in Spring 2006 which set up 7 regional electricity markets in Europe, as a first step to creating a single-EU electricity market.
These regions identify and implement practical solutions to overcome barriers to competition and trade within the region.
Safeguards are in place so as to ensure that such regional market integration facilitates the ultimate objective, namely a single-EU electricity market.
