Electricity distribution regulation — Gap analysis between Croatian and quality dependant model

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to identify a gap between the quality dependant regulatory principles and the up-to-date Croatian approach to regulation of distribution activity. The analysis of the main principles of optimal price-quality regulation and the overview of the Croatian regulatory practice and its results are given. Finally, the paper provides recommendations on a direction which Croatian regulation should take in order to aim at optimizing distribution activity from a socio-economic point of view.
