Acquirente Unico (AU) was set up in order to ensure electricity supply to the customers of the captive market (d.lgs n. 79/1999).
In establishing AU, the law-makers took into account that the Italian electricity sector is characterised by vertically-integrated distribution and generation companies. Indeed, the former incumbent and municipally-owned companies are involved in both the generation and distribution business. In this situation, AEEG (the Italian electricity & gas regulator) would have been unable to determine the price of electricity on the basis of the procurement costs of distributors, who would have had no interest in minimising the costs of electricity supply.
