Recenzje

'The book presents a balanced and useful exposition of the complex historical regulation of the EU electricity market based on renewable energy. This is of general interest as electricity based on renewable energy sources is planned to play a dominating role in the EU by the middle of this century.' Niels I. Meyer, Common Market Law Review

Spis treści

Introduction; Part I. 28 National Support Schemes in Regulatory Competition: 1. Regulation of renewable electricity in the internal electricity market: (still) a preserve of Member States; 2.

The evolution of support schemes in Member States over time; Part II. Regulatory Competition and Union Law Protecting the Internal Market: 4. Union law on state aid: down for the count, but not knocked out by PreussenElektra; 5.

Toward a Common Market for Renewable Electricity?: 7. 2013 to 2015 – years of upheaval?; 8. Regulatory options for the creation of a common market; 9.
