The most effective approach to directly link the local electricity market with the European grid involves establishing a connection with Italy. Italy, being a member of the European Union and operating under European legislation, presents the optimal solution. This perspective was underscored in the information outlining efforts to integrate Montenegro’s day-ahead electricity market into the unified European energy market.
The document emphasizes that establishing a direct connection between the local electricity market and the European grid, particularly through a link with Italy, provides a strategic pathway. Italy’s status as an EU member ensures alignment with European regulatory standards.
Consequently, the Ministry of Energy and Mining is tasked with taking necessary steps to facilitate the connection between Montenegro’s day-ahead electricity market and Italy’s electricity market. This initiative is seen as a crucial move towards Montenegro’s integration into the broader European energy framework, ensuring compliance with European regulatory norms.
