EEG-levy in closed distribution network

In its decision of 16 July 2018, the Higher Regional Court of Hamm decided that the EEG levy also applies to electricity that is lost due to physical network losses between delivery to the closed distribution network and withdrawal of the connected final consumer. It´s not relevant whether and how the final consumer uses the electricity after delivery to the closed distribution network - in this case to the network of an airport distribution network - in the opinion of the court for the emergence of the claim to the EEG levy. In the context of the allocation system, delivery to the distribution grid is the last step. (OLG Hamm, Decicion of 16.07.2018 - Az.: 8 U 119/17)
