Energy and competition supervision are important topics that impact both the Estonian economy and people's everyday lives. The first subtopic discusses developments in energy policy, including amendments to the Natural Gas, Electricity Market, and District Heating Acts, which aim to enhance supply security and support the transition to a climate-neutral energy economy. Highlighted measures include the creation of a strategic gas reserve, investments in electricity networks, and the promotion of renewable energy, all of which contribute to ensuring energy security and reducing carbon emissions.
The second subtopic focuses on competition supervision and merger control. It explains how the Competition Authority works to ensure the functioning of market competition and to prevent the emergence of dominant market positions. Emphasis is placed on the need to adapt competition law to new challenges, including the review of smaller but strategically significant transactions.
These topics clearly illustrate how legal reforms and supervisory practices are aimed at ensuring the sustainable and secure development of both the energy system and market economy.
