Both Directives, therefore, provide a number of provisions and safeguards to ensure that essential public service objectives, such as guaranteeing security of supply, universal connection to the electricity grid at reasonable prices, and protection of vulnerable citizens from disconnection, are safeguarded.
Zato obe direktivi predvidevata številne določbe in zaščitne ukrepe za zagotovitev zaščite pomembnih ciljev javnih storitev, kot so jamstvo za varnost dobave, univerzalna povezava z električnim omrežjem po primernih cenah ter zaščita ranljivih državljanov pred prekinitvami dobave.
