Europe’s energy infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental change as the completion of the EU’s internal market and the increasing integration of energy from renewables place increasing demands on the technical modernisation and interconnection of national grids.
The legal framework for the construction of such energy infrastructure is provided by the 3rd Energy Package and the TEN-E guidelines. They designate a special infrastructure category – the Project of Common Interest (PCI).Autor:

“Apportionability of the costs of monitoring heating systems” by Brahms
Depending on the definition, monitoring heating systems comprises several measures to optimise the operation of heating systems, including the optimisation of energy purchasing up to the implementation of technical changes, which, however, cannot all be apportioned to the tenant. The article deals with where the limits of the apportionability of costs under the Operating Costs Ordinance and Heating Costs Ordinance are to be drawn according to the current legal situation. This can also be relevant in case constellations after conversion to contracting, whether such additional measures can be included in the heat supply contract between the landlord and the contractor, § 556c para. 3 BGB in conjunction with the Heat Supply Ordinance.

“Common sense- the dazzling effect of photovoltaic systems is often the subject of neighborhood disputes.” by Hauer
When it comes to subjectively perceived impairments in court proceedings, the “common sense of an average person” often plays a decisive role – even if no one knows how to define this feeling exactly. Quarrels about the dazzling effect of solar modules take place in exactly this confusing area. A Higher Regional Court recently has issued a ruling on this which urges planners and system operators to be even more careful than before.

“The module is the plant – almost everytime” by Brahms
A new judgment creates more security for the plant concept in the sense of the EEG.In the recent past, the definition of the plant concept in the sense of the EEG had become unclear due to the decisions of the Federal Court of Justice and the reaction of the legislator. The Saarland Higher Regional Court has now determined that the module-specific definition of plants is to be applied at least for plants with a commissioning date of 1st January 2012. The court also commented on the replacement of defective modules.Autor:
