Traversing a landscape of regulatory ecosystems: Gas market regulation in the EU and Italy
Gas regulation in the European Union (EU) exists through both national and the Union-wide frameworks, representing two independent but highly interconnected levels. The relationship between these regulatory environments has been continuously evolving since the 1990’s, leading to an increasingly complex landscape of different frameworks. As the EU prepares the next package of gas legislation for the end of 2021, the picture is set to change again.
The joint training from the Florence School of Regulation (FSR) and The Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment (ARERA) provides a high-level perspective on the fundamentals of gas regulation in Europe before zooming in more closely on the Italian case. This first edition of the course has been developed thanks to the participation of Italgas. This intensive three-day residential course builds on the expertise and experience of leading experts from across the sector to bring you up to speed with regulatory developments in this space, including with a view to upcoming developments.
Registration is open to all professionals (institutions, utilities, associations, academics and researchers) who are interested deepening their understanding of gas market regulation.
Please do note that this is a residential training and to ensure your safety the room will have a reduced capacity. Thus, only a selected number of participants will be admitted. Participants will receive a response regarding their admission two weeks after the registration deadline.
The regulation of gas markets in the European Union (EU) has evolved in recent years to adapt to concerns over energy security, cost, and more recently environmental sustainability.
This evolution, started in the late 1990s, can be seen in the cross-cutting EU-level legislative packages (the so called First, Second and Third Energy Packages) as well as at the level of the Member States, where EU legislation is transposed into national frameworks, along with specific national aims.
The European Commission will publish a further package of gas regulation, this time focusing on hydrogen and other decarbonised gases. Italy will be one of the 27 Member States again working to adapt these complex measures into their national context, ensuring wider interoperability with the rest of the Union.
In this context, FSR and ARERA join forces to host a three-day residential training in Florence, Italy, to bring clarity on regulation of EU and Member State level gas markets. Through this intensive course we aim to equip attendees with the operational fundamentals of gas market regulation at both the EU and Member State levels, as well as exploring some of the deeper and more nuanced issues of the subject – with a focus on the Italian case.
How do individual national markets function in the context of the wider EU gas market? Is there a long-term vision for regulation of the gas sector in the EU? Which challenges exist and are there solutions? What can we learn from experience with previous iterations of EU-level gas market packages? What is the experience of a large national regulator? How are national regulators preparing for the coming demands?
Our training is facilitated by former regulators, leading academics, industry specialists and practitioners who encourage an interactive and immersive learning environment through lectures, instructive sessions, and a roundtable. Registration is open to all professionals (institutions, utilities, associations, academics and researchers) who are interested in deepening their understanding of gas market regulation.
