Metering management is an assumption of competitive energy market model aim, which was presented by the President of the Polish Energy Regulation Office as early as in 2005. Nowadays need for reopening the activities for market competitiveness is becoming more and more visible, when energy sector companies still focus on issues related to the consolidation and organising changes.
 
The debate is aimed to start discussion, which will help set priorities for the Polish energy market development.

One of the elements helping to make the energy sector more dinamic is establishing the Independent Metering Operator, which main task would be managing metering instruments and measures enabling demand management like also finally predicting and storing changes of the market.
