The energy market is one of the network industries, where competition can not develop under natural conditions. The energy market in Poland is one of the sectors that are subject to regulation and reglamentation. Regulatory authority has been created to bring competition and provide universal services/essential facilities, on this part of monopolistic market. The regulator has a lot of law instruments to create a competition market where every entrepreneur will be able to effectively undertake an economic activity and prices will be shaped by the market. If the regulator will use all legal instruments, he must be independent of other private entities operating in the market. In particular he must be independent of the government, which is pursuing to implement particularistic policies of each Member State. How Polish regulator can be independent if the government can create a national energy policy? On the basis of European law and the rights of Polish, indicated that the regulatory authority should not implement government policy as a whole, but take into account only government general policy guidelines. Prime Minister or member of the government cannot impose resolution of the case in a particular way if regulatory authority performs his own regulatory duties and powers. However, Prime Minister supervises the regulator and he may issue him binding guidelines and recommendations, which do not apply, however, the regulatory tasks.
