"Unbunbdling" własnościowy ("ownership unbundling") jako instrument regulacyjny w sektorze energetycznym (część I)

Owership unbundling as a regulatory measure in the energy sector
Free, without discrimination and on economic reasonable conditions network access is one of the main aim of regulation in the energy sector. In order to ensure realization of this aim, European Community in Electricity Directive (2003/54/EC) and in Gas Directive (2003/55/EC) obliged Member States to implementation of so called unbundling, which means some degree of separation between network (transmission and distribution) activity (on one hand) and other forms of activity in energy sector, especially in the field of generation and supply (on the other hand). This unbundling nowadays has a form of account, functional and legal unbundling and only in some limited extend leads to diminuation of the ownerships rights, which belong to the vertically integrated energy undertakings. The most advanced form of the unbundling is co called ownership unbundling, which leads to the negative consequences on the side of vertically integrated energy undertakings: namely, they have to get rid of ownership rights to the network assets or/and they have to get rid of shares, which they own in the network (transmission and distribution) companies. This article (Part I) presents the very different forms of ownership unbundling (on theoretical level), namely: independent system operator approach, nationalization of the system operator, transferring of the network assets on the system operator, national system operator approach and relaxation of the connections in the vertically integrated undertaking.
