Summary

The bill takes over the changes made by the EU directive to improve the organization of the electricity market. The goal of improving the organization of the internal electricity market is a well-integrated energy market that allows member states to benefit economically from the single energy market under all market conditions, also ensures security of supply and supports the reduction of CO2 emissions in order to achieve the Union's climate neutrality goal. The background of the energy crisis is the current organization of the electricity market highlighted various bottlenecks related to the impact of high and volatile fossil fuel prices in short-term electricity markets, forcing households and businesses to face price spikes and their impact on electricity bills. The proposed changes in the bill ensure that consumers are protected from energy price crises and from disconnection from the network during the settlement of out-of-court proceedings. Network connection the possibility for users to enter into a flexible connection agreement in areas where the capacity of the electricity network for new connections is limited also offers the network operator a solution for the development of scattered settlements, ensuring that the priority is to strengthen the planned network. Flexible connections are enabled as a permanent solution in areas where network reinforcement is not effective, and expected network users requesting network connections are made as visible as possible restrictions that apply to a flexible connection agreement.
