In pursuit of more efficient energy prices, increased security of supply and more sustainable power production, the EU has endeavoured for decades to create a pan-European market for the free trade of electricity across borders. However, connections between the national energy markets are still insufficient to make this vision of an ‘Energy Union’ a reality.
In his Ph.D. thesis, Julius Rumpf examines how EU law regulates high-voltage electricity infrastructure, particularly cross-border transmission lines (so-called interconnectors), to create a single market for electricity that spans the entire continent and helps achieve the aims of EU energy policy.

In her PhD project Marie Meling discusses the possibilities for restructuring of Norwegian businesses in financial difficulties.
