摘要：The common energy policy of the European Union is a current topic on the
agenda of European institutions, reflected in package “Clean Energy for All Europeans”,
proposed by the European Commission. Despite several harmonization attempts, the
consensus needed for a common policy and for an Energy Union has not been reached yet.
One possible element why we still do not have a common energy market is the lack of
competition in the energy sector. In this context, the present research paper analyzes to
what extent competition can be a key-factor in ensuring the modernization of the energy
sector. Aspects of competition law which are relevant for building a common energy market
are highlighted in the present research paper. Furthermore, the present article raises the
question how important cooperation is, searching the proper balance between competition
and cooperation. The present article uses an interdisciplinary research method, combining
the analysis of primary and secondary European law, of legal instruments and provisions,
considering the teleological method, with the assessment from a business and economics
point of view. Case law and case studies from Member States of the European Union
provide best practice models for the energy sector and present an international
comparative perspective.
