Action brought on 15 November 2019 — Tirreno Power v Commission
(Case T-793/19)
(2020/C 10/62)
Language of the case: Italian
Parties
Applicant: Tirreno Power SpA (Rome, Italy) (represented by: A. Clarizia, T. Ferrario, M. Vasari, P. Ziotti and M. Pagliarulo, lawyers)
Defendant: European Commission
Form of order sought
The applicant claims that the Court should:
— |
annul the contested decision by which the Commission decided not to raise objections to the ‘Modification of the Italian capacity mechanism: Introduction of environmental requirements’, State Aid SA.53821 (2019/N); |
— |
order the defendant to pay the costs incurred by the applicant in the present proceedings. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
By its action, the applicant seeks the annulment of Decision C(2019) 4509 final of 14 June 2019 by which the European Commission, notified by the Italian State of amendments to the mechanism to remunerate electricity generation capacity (‘market-wide capacity mechanism’) authorised by Decision C(2018) 617 final of 7 February 2018 and not yet implemented, decided not to raise objections to the new notified measure, finding it to be compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, without carrying out an appropriate assessment of the amendments made to the previously authorised measure.
In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.
1. |
First plea in law, alleging infringement of its procedural rights arising under Article 108(2) TFEU on account of not having been asked — in the context of a formal investigation procedure, which was not initiated in this case — to submit its observations regarding the intention to increase the number of participants in the market-wide capacity mechanism by including in the concept of ‘new capacity’, alongside the new production units for which all building and operating permits have already been issued, new production units which have merely initiated the administrative procedures for the issuing of such permits.
|
2. |
Second plea in law, alleging failure to investigate adequately and failure to state adequate reasons.
