Debating FSR research outcomes – Policy Advisory Council

On Monday 5^th and Tuesday 6^th November, the Florence School of Regulation hosted the 2018 Autumn edition of its Policy Advisory Council (PAC).

The Policy Advisory Council represents a unique opportunity for the School to discuss and collect relevant inputs on its latest research findings, as well as on the most topical regulatory and policy issues. The meeting is held twice a year and brings together (by invitation only) the entire FSR Energy community including Major Donors, representatives of European Institutions, NRAs, ACER and well-known academics.

This edition addressed four issues:

• Reliability Options in the EU: Design and Controversies
• Distribution Grid Tariffs and Levies
• Gas Transmission Tariffs
• Sector Coupling

If you are interested in digging deeper, you can access some of the related FSR publications discussed at the meeting:
