Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: ENGIE Deutschland GmbH

Defendant: Landesregulierungsbehörde beim Sächsischen Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Verkehr

Other parties: Zwickauer Energieversorgung GmbH, Bundesnetzagentur für Elektrizität, Gas, Telekommunikation, Post und Eisenbahnen

Operative part of the judgment

Points 28 and 29 of Article 2 and Article 30 to 39 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

must be interpreted as precluding national legislation under which an undertaking which, by replacing the existing distribution system, constructs and operates an energy facility for the supply of electricity, generated by a combined heat and power plant, to several residential buildings with up to 200 dwellings and with an annual energy transfer of up to 1 000 MWh, is not subject to the obligations of a distribution system operator, since the costs of constructing and operating the energy facility are borne by the end consumers, who are the tenants of those dwellings, and the electricity generated is sold by that undertaking to those consumers, if that facility is used to transport electricity at high, medium or low voltage for sale to customers and if none of the exemptions or derogations from those obligations which are expressly provided for in that directive are applicable.
