TELP#001: Dr. Wolfgang Urbantschitsch, E-Control Austria, Executive Director

In today's episode, I am thrilled to have Dr. Wolfgang
Urbantschitsch, Executive Director of E-Control Austria,
as our special guest. Amongst other topics, we will be exploring
the role of national regulatory authorities in energy markets.
According to the electricity market directive and the gas market
directive, each Member State shall designate a single regulatory
authority at national level. Further, Member States shall
guarantee the independence of the regulatory authority and shall
ensure that it exercises its powers impartially and transparently
– key requirements that sometimes even challenge the Members
States` constitutional framework. Lots of fun with this
episode!



The interview took place on 20 November 2023.
