Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the financial aspects of the electric Transmission System Operator (TSO-E), ultimately proving that TSO-E performs exclusively public works. Research conducted for the essay shows the disadvantages of the financing methodology and financial duties imposed on TSO-E. These disadvantages are not crucial only now, at a time when TSO-E is not making the necessary investments due to legal barriers and the investment process. However, it must be emphasised that removing the barriers will certainly show that the TSO-E financing system is illogical, the financial duties imposed on TSO-E are too far-reaching and, last but not least, the organisational form of the TSO-E is flawed. These are also the reasons that de lege ferenda proposals have been formulated to improve the current situation.
