October 2013 – Kinstellar is launching this month its Energy Law Update, which aims at providing a timely overview of recent developments in energy policy and energy market regulation in Central, Eastern and Southern Europe, Turkey and Central Asia. Content is contributed by Kinstellar’s energy law experts in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Turkey.
In addition to regulatory updates, reports on market and legislative developments, our Energy Law Update also presents our experts’ views gained from their deep knowledge of the energy markets in Emerging Europe and Central Asia. As such, it has an element of subjectivity – which we hope will make it an interesting read.
The first issue of our Energy Law Update, Emerging Europe and Central Asia’s Energy Sector: A Period of Change, includes the following:
- Major changes to solar energy subsidies in the Czech Republic
- Czech energy regulator pushes for change in price-setting methodology
- Hungary adopts new legislation enforcing EU Regulation on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency (REMIT)
- The new Kazakhstan gas law revisited: Tightening control over gas infrastructure
- Romania contemplates new cuts in green certificates for renewable energy
- Serbia’s new regulation in the field of renewable energy
- Electricity producers will have to pay a G-fee to access the Slovak transmission system
- Recent developments in the electricity and gas markets in Turkey
