Proposal for an electricity market act; Ehdotus saehkoemarkkinalaiksi

Abstract

A bill has been drafted to replace all aspects of the present Electricity Act except those concerning electrical safety. This new Electricity Market Act would therefore apply to the generation, transmission and sale of electricity, to permits and other regulatory measures exercised by the relevant authorities, and to the competitive situation on the electricity market. The purpose of the Electricity Market Act would be to ensure an efficient and competitive electricity system in Finland also in the future by making the electricity market work more efficiently. Obstacles to competition in electricity generation, transmission and sale would be removed and any inefficient permit and regulation procedures be discontinued. Deregulation and increased competition would encourage more efficient use of available resources in the field and create cost savings for both consumers and the entire economy. Electricity transmission networks would be made available to all potential users. Network companies would offer transmission services on equal terms for a fee, within the limits of transmission capacity and other technical features. This transmission service obligation would apply to all networks from the national grid to local distribution networks. Liberalisation of transmission would proceed stepwise according to the power to be transmitted within a transition period  More>>
