Belgian view on private networks after citiworks

Contrary to our neighbouring countries, the different competent authorities have not yet been able to formulate a vision on the consequences of the citiworks/Flughafen Leipzig-Halle judgement of the Court of Justice.

In response to a parliamentary question, the Belgian (federal) minister of energy, Paul Magnette, declared
- The federal state and the regions will meet to decide who will be competent;
- The minister will ask the CREG and the regional regulators to give their advice on the issue of private networks;
- The implementation of article 27bis of the Third Package Electricity and Natural Gas Directives on small distribution systems must also be discussed between the federal state and the regions.
