With our entrance into the European Union, the Regulation on the Reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions entered into force in the Slovenian legal order. The entry of the
Regulation means ensuring cleaner air and a better environment, which is also important for the
future. The Energy Act defines the principles, rules, methods and forms, measures, conditions,
competencies, organization and operation in the field of energy policy in Slovenian
legislation. By using natural gas, we can prevent greenhouse gas emissions, which is very
harmful to the environment and the health of the population. Because of this, some individuals
consciously decide to change the energy source they use for heating and other purposes. In addition
to the rules for connection to the gas network, the Energy Act also stipulates that the connection
must be carried out in accordance with the Act on General Administrative Procedure.
In the diploma thesis we will present natural gas, the Energy Agency and the company Adriaplin d.
o. o., which acts as a distributor of natural gas. As a central problem, we will highlight the
administrative procedure of connection to the gas network and present all four phases of the
administrative procedure to future customers in a practical and easy way. In addition, we will
analyze the decisions published by the Energy Agency and determine the most common
reasons for the use of legal remedies in administrative proceedings. The analysis found
that the population has a poor understanding of the process of connecting to the gas
network and that the most common remedies are for violation of the rights of the parties and
fundamental procedural violations.
