Questions referred

For the purposes of point 41 of Article 2 of Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU (recast): (1)

(a)Must the concept of ‘isolated generation site’ used in that provision be construed as also including an electricity line owned by a producer, connected to a generating station, intended to transmit generated electricity and extending beyond the boundaries of the location (postal address) of the generating station?

(b)Does the definition of ‘direct line’ contained in that provision include an electricity line connecting a customer to an electricity generation site (cogeneration plant) through the deployment of a connection to a pre-constructed electricity line owned by a producer and intended to transmit electricity, if this has the result of ensuring the supply of electricity from the producer to the customer without the intermediation of the distribution network operator’s network? Would it have any bearing on the answer to this question if the pre-constructed electricity line owned by the producer and intended to transmit electricity, to which the proposed line would be connected in order to reach the new customer, were already being used to supply electricity to other customers?
