National energy policy sets the major framework necessary to secure a sustainable and efficient energy industry.
In an unbundled energy industry each activity – from production, to transmission networks, distribution networks, wholesale trade and retail supply - should be priced separately.
Economic theory advocates that firms have the strongest incentives to provide best service to customers in terms of price and quality of service when they are in competition.
The most important dimension of quality and security of supply is reliability (continuity of supply).
Regulatory management is a set of measures related to regulatory reporting, i.e. the preparation, and assessment of data for the regulator.
