Cooperation with the industry (trade) organizations
-
2-28
Tauron Group’s subsidiaries are the members of the most important industry (trade) organizations operating in the energy sector, bringing together the majority of entities operating in the given area. As a consequence, these organizations are a reliable partner for the government administration in the legislative process and can transparently participate in the process of shaping the regulatory environment.
In recent years, the most significant area of regulation, both at the national, as well as the European Union level, has been the issue of energy transition. The shape and manner of introducing the legal acts in this area will have a key impact on TAURON Group’s operations, ongoing investment projects and the functioning of the market environment.
Industry (trade) associations play an important role in formulating and representing the interests of the energy sector. At the European Union level, this activity is carried out through the participation in the organizations grouping the national associations (e.g. Eurelectric, Eurowind, EU DSO), organizing of the conferences and information campaigns targeted at the participants in the EU legislative process, and the direct participation in the consultations organized by the European Commission.
At the national level, the industry (trade) associations are an important partner in the legislative process. The joint proposals for the legislative changes or positions on the drafts prepared by the Government are worked out by such forums.
The activities of TAURON Group’s subsidiaries in the above organizations also allow for the exchange of experiences, the preparation and financing of the analyses and the conducting of the joint projects.
An important element that is carried out by the industry (trade) organizations is the activity that involves conducting of the social campaigns and information campaigns that have a nationwide reach. Among other things, the campaigns on the energy conservation and raising of the consumer awareness of the energy prices were conducted in 2022.
