Bulgarian Energy Holding and Others v Commission
|
The Commission takes note of the judgment by the General Court which annulled a Commission decision of 2018. In its decision, the Commission fined Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH), its gas supply subsidiary Bulgargaz and its gas infrastructure subsidiary Bulgartransgaz (together the BEH group) for blocking competitors' access to key gas infrastructure in Bulgaria, in breach of EU antitrust rules.
The Commission will carefully study the judgment and reflect on possible next steps.

Barriers for demand response participation in electricity markets and State aid support
|
The European Commission is conducting a study to identify barriers for the participation of Demand Response to wholesale electricity markets and State Aid mechanisms in the EU27 Member States. The focus of the study is on the so-called explicit demand response, i.e., demand response services provided by consumption units directly competing with other technologies in wholesale electricity markets and SA mechanisms, either individually or through aggregators.
As part of the study, a survey is offered to collect opinions from stakeholders with respect to a number of topics.
