Cerha Hempel has successfully represented Austrian Power Grid AG, Austria's transmission system operator, before the EU General Court, in its challenge to the order by the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators that the German-Austria electricity price zone be separated.
According to Cerha Hempel, after hearing the evidence, the EU-General Court — a court of first instance — found that ACER lacked jurisdiction in the matter and annulled its order.
The Cerha Hempel team was led by Partners Hans Kristoferitsch and Stefan Huber.
