energy market regulation

Energy market regulation involves government and independent authorities overseeing how electricity and gas are produced, distributed, and priced. Their goal is to ensure a reliable energy supply, fair prices, and fair access for consumers, while encouraging competition and sustainability. Regulations set rules for utilities, monitor market behavior to prevent manipulation or unfair practices, and promote investments in cleaner energy sources. This oversight balances the interests of consumers, producers, and the environment, helping to create a stable and efficient energy system that meets public needs and supports economic growth.
