Measures to improve the investment climate• Movement towards a stable, predictable and compatible regulatory
regime across member states is essential for facilitating a positive investment climate
• Underpinning investment through long-term binding commitments, from both the market and regulators, is vital to facilitate investment
• There must be clear rules for investment conditions, including length of the regulatory period
• A reasonable and competitive rate of return on the assets must be guaranteed
• Efficiency targets must include incentives and freedom to develop the activities
• Improved coordination and cooperation within and between regulators and TSOs vital in case of an investment affecting two or more TSOs
It is of vital importance that all stakeholders work together to
improve the investment climate.
