Exemption from the Utilities Directive – brief overview of EU law and case law

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the existing practice regarding the granting of exemptions from Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC in relation to entities from the energy sector. In that regard, there is a noticeable growth in the number of positive decisions of the Commission. The authors anticipate that over time individual exemptions from the Utilities Directive will lead to the exemption of the entire energy sector or its significant part from the EU’s public procurement rules. The paper analyses the legal basis of exemptions granted and related decisions of the European Commission for entities that act in the energy sector
