La regulación de la gestión técnica del sistema eléctrico
Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the legal regulation of the technical management of the Spanish electricity system. For it, we study the technical, economic and legal specificities laid down in the European, national and administrative regulation. The first part provides with a general overview of the concept and legal nature of the technical management of the electricity system. This helps us to clarify the role that the transmission system operator is playing with the electricity supply activity. After that, we thoroughly analyze the regulatory framework on unbundling and the functions of the Transmission System Operator, so it is obligatory that we undertake a parallel reading of the Spanish and the European regulation. Lastly, we examine the European framework for the improvement of the technical management based on the one hand on the cooperation at regional level and, on the other hand, on the proper elaboration of the European Network Codes and guidelines.
