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

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.
