THE ROLE OF THE REGULATORY AGENCY IN THE ADOPTION OF TARIFF SYSTEMS: ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION – REPORT AND CONCLUSION

M. Klepo

Abstract

In late 2006, the Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency adopted methodologies for the calculation of tariffs for the activities of the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity, which until now have been components of a single tariff for an integrated system of the activities of the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity. Pursuant to the legal obligations to separate these activities, as also expressed through the approach of the cited methodologies of the tariff systems, activities are in progress in reference to the calculation and adoption of tariff items for the aforementioned fundamental energy activities.
With the application of the cited methodologies, i.e. the adoption and coming into force of the new tariff systems of the electricity sector and the electricity sector of the Republic of Croatia, a new trial regulatory period will be entered.
Therefore, for the regulatory agency, representatives of the regulated entities, and professional public, discussion of several questions and dilemmas from this area at a meeting among representatives of various interested parties was considered to be of great importance and benefit. It was especially important to hear about the experiences and positions of relevant experts from the European regulatory agencies and countries with many years of experience in economic regulation, whether long-standing members of the European Union or countries that have only recently joined the EU. These were the goals and reasons for organizing the Round Table Discussion on the Role of the Regulatory Agency in the Adoption of Tariff Systems. In this article, the content and conclusions of this Round Table Discussion are presented.
