This dissertation was written as part of the LLM In Transnational And European Commercial Law And Alternative Dispute Resolution at the International Hellenic University. The goal of my dissertation is to develop the scope and operation of the unbundling in electricity sector and in particular on the TSO’s point of view. The European Commission and the Parliament struggle reach the goals of “Europe 2020 Strategy” through a secure and competitive environment. The correct transposition of the European electricity legislation in all Member States is not yet complete. Hence, the Third Internal Energy Market Package was adopted in 2009 to accelerate investments in energy infrastructure, enhance cross border trade and access to diversified sources of energy. Market concentration isn’t yet fully repealed in the European Union, nevertheless we have high hopes that the three options EU has introduced (ownership unbundling, independent system operator (ISO) and independent transmission operators (ITO)) to weaken the market power of the biggest electricity firms, will work out. Furthermore, it is important to examine the case of the Greek TSO, ADMIE. 3 My supervisor is going to be Dr. Theodore Panagos, who really stipulated my interest on the Energy Sector during the lesson “Energy Law” in International Hellenic University. I consider the topic of Energy Law a must-take, since energy sector is always going to be a subject of interest around the Globe, whichever the circumstances and furthermore, because during my Bachelor at Law at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki I never had the chance to hear about such interesting and up-to-date issues as the electricity, gas and generally energy sector.
