EU Commission mulls antitrust proceedings against German grid operator TenneT
The European Commission is considering antitrust proceedings against Germany鈥檚 largest transmission grid operator, TenneT, over suspicions that the company is creating artificial power bottlenecks on the Danish-German border, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports. This would amount to abuse of a dominant market position as it disadvantages non-German power producers, the article says. 鈥溌槎刮蘼氚� has to flow unobstructed in Europe,鈥� says EU commissioner Margrethe Vestager. The 鈥渕ost radical鈥� solution to insufficient transmission capacities in Germany would be to split up the country in two different power price zones, with low prices in the windy north and higher prices in the highly industrialised south, the newspaper says.
