European Electricity Network Codes & Guidelines

The book delves into the legal implications of network codes and framework guidelines in the European electricity market, focusing on their influence on Germany's market design. It presents a literature-based analysis of how these regulations, adopted through comitology, establish binding objectives for cross-border electricity grids. The author suggests that while the framework guidelines have a binding effect, their overall impact on the German market may be limited. Additionally, the German government could potentially influence the comitology process if the regulations prove unfavorable.
