Power supply
The energy law group provides regular advice to small, medium, and large power supply companies on regulatory issues and has gained in-depth knowledge of the power supply sector and the rules and regulations governing the sector.
We advise the Danish Energy Association, which is the professional trade organisation of Danish energy companies, on energy law issues and have assisted i.a. in connection with the implementation of new legislation and the current financial regulation of collective power supply companies. In addition, we represent the Association before the Danish Energy Regulatory Authority and the Danish Energy Board of Appeal in cases relating to the prices charged by supply-obligated undertakings.
