#01-LA-25Decision No. 01-LA-25 of 10 March 2026 on the Liquidation of Daily Penalty against SIDÉLEC for Delayed Electricity Network Extension
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The French Energy Regulatory Commission's dispute resolution committee ruled on M. L.'s request to liquidate a daily penalty imposed on SIDÉLEC. The original October 2025 decision ordered SIDÉLEC to begin electricity network extension works within 30 days of notification (by 28 November 2025) under a €200 daily penalty. Although SIDÉLEC claimed preparatory staking occurred on 17 November, the committee determined this did not constitute the start of extension works. Actual works began on 2 December 2025. The committee liquidated the penalty only for the three-day delay from 29 November to 1 December 2025, resulting in a €600 payment obligation. The decision is immediately enforceable upon notification and will be published in the Official Journal.
