The Federal Network Agency's task is to provide, by liberalisation and deregulation, for the further development of the electricity, gas, telecommunications and postal markets and, as from 1 January 2006, also of the railway infrastructure market. For the purpose of implementing the aims of regulation, the Agency has effective procedures and instruments at its disposal including also rights of information and investigation as well as the right to impose graded sanctions.

The central task of the Federal Network Agency is to provide for compliance with the Telecommunications Act (TKG), the Postal Act (PostG) and the Energy Act (EnWG) and their ordinances having the force of law. This way the Agency ensures liberalisation and deregulation of the telecommunications, postal and energy markets through non-discriminatory access and efficient use-of-system charges.
