Why is “unbundling” – the separation between energy production and supply on the one hand and energy network activities on the other hand – important?
The energy transmission network, the high-voltage or high-pressure main network lines, should work like highways, permitting all travelers (in the energy context, all suppliers of electricity or natural gas) to pass, thereby enabling them to access markets, as it is usually too expensive to build parallel networks (the energy transmission network is considered to be a natural monopoly).
