(Case C-5/22, (<span class="oj-super oj-note-tag">1</span>) Green Network (Order for repayment of costs))
(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Internal market in electricity - Directive 2009/72/EC - Article 37 - Annex I - Duties and powers of the national regulatory authority - Consumer protection - Administrative management costs - Power of the national regulatory authority to order the repayment of sums paid by final customers pursuant to contractual terms that have been penalised by that authority)
(2023/C 179/09)
Language of the case: Italian
Applicant: Green Network SpA
Defendants: SF, YB, Autorità di Regolazione per Energia Reti e Ambiente (ARERA)
Article 37(1)(i) and (n) and Article 37(4)(d) of Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 2003/54/EC, and Annex I to Directive 2009/72,
must be interpreted as not precluding a Member State from conferring on a national regulatory authority the power to order electricity undertakings to reimburse their final customers for the sums paid by those customers to cover ‘administrative management costs’ pursuant to a contractual term considered to be unlawful by that authority, including in cases where that order for repayment is based not on considerations of the quality of the relevant service provided by those undertakings, but on the breach of obligations relating to tariff transparency.
