It aims to identify the key  elements that shape the future of gas and electricity networks in Europe  and examines the regulatory challenges that policy-makers and  legislators face in delivering robust and effective policies for the  future. It also provides an insight into the links between the European  Union’s Energy Policy and some of the key geopolitical elements  currently facing the Eastern Mediterranean region. An analysis of the  legislative issues on the integration of European energy markets and the  digitalisation of energy networks provides a valuable insight into the  future transformation of the energy market in the EU and its potential  impact in Southeastern Europe.The book  is the result of a joint initiative between the Energy Union Law Area of  the Florence School of Regulation (EUI) and the Hellenic Energy  Regulation Institute. Several of the chapters have been discussed during  the 2017 Athens Conference on European Energy Law.
