Abstract

The publication brings the informed insight of the author, based on his many years of professional experience both on the side of regulated entrepreneurs and from the position of a regulator, into the complex legislation of the electricity and gas industry, with a focus on the most problematic areas of domestic legislation. The book first defines the relevant interpretative starting points, in order to then focus on the current problems of unfair business practices, the inadequacy of the adjustment of the supply of last resort, the limits of the authority of system operators in electricity and gas systems vis-a-vis real estate owners or the weaknesses of the legislation and the application practice of price regulation.

The reader is confronted with the problems of the energy sector in the light of jurisprudence and a comparison with foreign legislation. The book is primarily intended for practical users of energy legislation, especially entrepreneurs in the electricity and gas industry, relevant state administration bodies, as well as others interested in current events in the field of energy law, lawyers, judges or academics.
