Stek victorious for Liander in acces-to-network case

Stek has successfully represented energy distribution company Liander in an urgent preliminary ruling procedure before the Gelderland District Court in Arnhem. The applicant in the procedure is connected to Liander’s electricity network and claimed additional transmission capacity. Liander had refused to grant the requested additional capacity, because of network congestions in the area. The court has sided with Liander and rejected all of the applicant’s claims. The ruling is the first decision of the Gelderland District Court in line with recent decisions of the Court of Appeal in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and energy regulator ACM in similar cases.
