Kodeksy sieci – tworzenie europejskiego prawa energetycznego

Unia Europejska przygotowuje obecnie serię rozporządzeń regulujących szczegółowo różne aspekty funkcjonowania sieci i wolnorynkowego handlu energią elektryczną i gazem – tzw. kodeksy sieci. W artykule przedstawiono przebieg procesów powstawania europejskiego prawa energetycznego. Omówiono również ważniejsze instytucje uczestniczące w tym procesie.

The European Union is currently processing preparation of several regulations concerning different aspects of electrical energy markets and gas markets – so called network cods. The paper introduces the process of construction of the European energy law (particularly the electrical energy law). The institutions involved in this process from European Union (i.e. European Commission, ACER, ENTSO-E) as well as the member states organizations are also described. Particularly the Polish institutions involved in this process (like: URE, PSE and TGE) are described in details. ACER is an organization that coordinates and supervises the national regulatory offices, ENTSO-E coordinates mainly the technical aspects of transmission systems operation from all European countries (including non-synchronous zones). Construction of a common European market is aiming to enable unrestricted energy trade all over the Europe. This task meets meaningful technical limitations. In this field a leading role take power exchanges. Activities of the biggest power exchanges brings to live bidding zones and European regions – also described in this paper. A list of the law acts being currently compulsory in Europe is also listed in the literature of the paper.
