European Gasmarketregulation
• The acting EU institutions such as
ACER , CEER and ENTSO-G rely to
the original idea of the European
Union.
• The corresponding Gas target models
are already being implemented.
• Further, the market integration is as
well on the go through a European-
wide harmonization of all regulated
processes and related market
communication
• Especially the TSOs, but also the
DSOs and suppliers are impacted by
network codes from ENTSO-G.
• The EU's Third Energy Package aims to
develop a common gas market within
the European Union.
• The existing gas markets in the EU are
opened by increasing investment in
infrastructure for competition and cross-
border trade and access to various gas
sources are possible.
• thk utilities advises companies
throughout Europe concerning the
consequences of the third internal
Energy Market Package and the
implementation on the network codes.

• The upcoming central European
approach requires utilities to get
integrated through the „Gas target-
models“ and in parallel the frequency
of the regulated business processes is
rising to a new dimension for all
market participants like TSO´s, DSO´s
and supplier.
